The NO WAIT NITRATE field lab enables growers, service providers, and agronomists to measure soil nitrate levels immediately and accurately from field-moist samples. Knowing your soil nitrogen levels is critical in determining optimal application rates, controlling input costs, and achieving maximum yield.
Accurate
The NO WAIT NITRATE system measures soil samples with the accuracy of commercial soil testing labs. Independent tests comparing our method to the standard cadmium reduction method confirm that our method has unprecedented accuracy for an immediate soil test.
Immediate
The NO WAIT NITRATE system can perform immediate soil measurements on field-moist soils, with a sample-to-sample run time of less than 3 minutes.
Actionable
The system can be used for a variety of nutrient management and monitoring applications, including:
- Pre-sidedress nitrate testing
- Pre-plant nitrate testing
- Monitoring nitrogen mineralization and leaching with regularly timed soil sampling
