Measure nitrate and nitrite levels in soil samples from your garden, lawn or farm with Indigo® Nitrite-Nitrate test strips. Useful also in runoff monitoring, and environmental science teaching.
Nitrate-nitrite test strips can be used to assess soil fertility and nutrient cycling by measuring dissolved nitrate and nitrite in soil extracts. These ions are key indicators of fertilizer application efficiency, nitrogen uptake, and potential leaching into groundwater. Quick and inexpensive, Indigo® Nitrite-Nitrate test strips provide valuable insights for gardeners, lawn care professionals & farmers seeking to complements their green thumbs.
