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 and nitrite measurements in soil extracts provide insight into nitrogen availability, fertilizer efficiency, and nutrient cycling dynamics. Indigo® Nitrite-Nitrate Test Strips offer a fast, practical method for screening dissolved nitrate and nitrite in garden, lawn, and agricultural soil samples. By identifying excess or depleted nitrogen levels, these strips help users assess crop uptake, microbial activity, and the potential for nutrient loss through leaching or runoff.
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").
