As the only company of it's kind to concentrate on the life sciences, VSNi are ideally placed to help you reach your goals quickly, efficiently and perhaps most important, accurately. With a rising awareness that new technologies can support and often accelerate results, GenStat provides all the tools you need to bring viable research and top class soil to your market.

• Analyse large, complex datasets easily and efficiently
• Assist in defining factors that affect your soil
• Define key traits to help you discover & create new dynamics
• Discover patterns in vast sets of data
• Determine risk factors
• Examine traits of agro-economic importance
• Integrate agricultural and climatic data
• Graphical exploration and presentation of data

With thousands of analyses, procedures and directives a single page isn't nearly enough to show off GenStat. The following is but a small example of some of the possibilities; to gauge the full potential why not try GenStat for yourself?

• Design experiments and plan soil monitoring systems
• Analysis of variance to compare the affects of soil treatments and determine trends
• Mixed modelling (REML) to correlate soil properties
• Compare treatment effects on diversity, biomass, population etc.
• Model soil parameters using generalized linear modelling
• Spatial analysis and mapping using kriging and cokriging
• Multivariate analysis techniques such as principal components and cluster analysis
• Integration between agri and climatic communities

Understanding soil has a direct affect on not only agricultural production but also has a major impact on the environment and human wellbeing. VSNi want to support you - the soil scientist - in evaluating soils and interpreting soil-related data to assist with this understanding.
