Test your mushroom substrate for nitrogen content with Indigo® nitrate/nitrite strips. Use them to nutrient cycling, optimize yield, and support mycology teaching or lab work.
Balanced nitrogen availability in mushroom substrates is essential for healthy mycelial development and consistent yields. Indigo® Nitrite-Nitrate Test Strips provide a quick, accessible way to screen composts, manures, and formulated growing media for dissolved nitrate and nitrite. Simple dip-and-read testing allows growers and researchers to monitor nutrient trends during substrate preparation, conditioning, and reuse; without the need for laboratory instrumentation.
We've been selling nitrate-nitrite test strips since 2009. Buy fully documented Indigo® nitrate-nitrite test strips, 50 strips/vial. Guaranteed 3 year shelf life (dated back from expiration date "yyyy.mm.dd").
