Monitor phosphate levels in hydroponic and greenhouse nutrient solutions. Maintain balanced fertilizer ratios for healthier plant growth with Indigo® phosphate test strips.

Phosphate is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, supporting root development, flowering, and energy transfer, but excessive or imbalanced levels can lead to nutrient lockout, precipitation, or unwanted algae growth in hydroponic and greenhouse systems. Indigo® 0-100 ppm Phosphate Test Strips provide a fast, practical way to monitor phosphate concentrations in nutrient reservoirs and recirculating solutions. Simple dip-and-read testing helps growers verify fertilizer dosing and maintain balanced nutrient ratios without instruments or reagents.

We've been selling phosphate test strips since 2009. Buy fully documented Indigo® phosphate test strips, 50 strips/vial. Guaranteed 3 year shelf life (dated back from expiration date "yyyy.mm.dd").

Learning Outcomes / Key Features
Chemistry
  • Recognize phosphate (PO43-) as a key nutrient ion influencing pH and solubility equilibria.
  • Correlate nutrient solution chemistry with ppm concentration readings on test strips.
  • Explore precipitation reactions and nutrient availability in various hydroponic media.
Biology
  • Explain how phosphate supports plant metabolism, root development, and flowering.
  • Relate nutrient balance to plant health, deficiency symptoms, and productivity.
  • Discuss the role of phosphate alongside nitrate and potassium in overall plant nutrition.
Environmental Science
  • Examine sustainable fertilizer use and runoff control in greenhouse operations.
  • Evaluate water reuse strategies based on nutrient depletion or excess.
  • Promote closed-loop nutrient management and reduced environmental impact.
Agricultural / Horticultural Studies
  • Develop hands-on skills in solution testing and nutrient management.
  • Interpret phosphate test results to adjust feed schedules and dilution ratios.
  • Understand practical compliance with food safety and agricultural water standards.

Best Practices

  • Calibrate nutrient solution using manufacturer fertilizer charts.
  • Test fresh mixes and recirculating water weekly or after nutrient adjustments.
  • Record phosphate trends to anticipate plant uptake rates.
  • Pair with nitrate and pH test strips for comprehensive nutrient monitoring.
