Use Indigo® ammonia test strips to monitor nutrient solution health in hydroponic and greenhouse systems. Prevent plant stress and ensure balanced nitrogen availability.
Keep your hydroponic or greenhouse system in peak condition with Indigo Instruments’ ammonia/ammonium test strips. Fast and easy to use, these colorimetric tests reveal nitrogen imbalances that can harm plant roots and slow growth. Ideal for both hobby growers and commercial operations, they help maintain healthy nutrient solutions by detecting excess ammonia before it becomes toxic.
