2 ph Meters Horticulture Products Root Zone Environment Measuring and maintaining the optimal ph for your crop is important for determining nutrient availability, efficacy of pesticides, and potential disease pressure. Nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and molybdenum become more available as ph increases. In contrast, availability of iron, manganese, and copper increases with decreasing ph. High ph can also contribute to conditions favorable for various root diseases. IQ 150 ph Meter Item 2162S ISFET sensor technology for durability and reliability. Measure ph and temperature of soils, semi-solids, or solutions in seconds. Dynamically measure changes in ph through the root zone. Robust meter with 6 (15.2cm) probe and 3/16 (48mm) tip. Ideal for plug trays; narrow probe causes minimal root disturbance. SoilStik ph Meter Item 2105 Revolutionary flat surface sensor measures ph of soils, semi-solids, and solutions. Indicator displays when it s time to recalibrate and/or replace the sensor. Records up to 15 sequentially tagged readings. Simultaneously displays ph level and temperature of sample. Cardy Twin ph Meter Item 2103A Instant ph measurements at your fingertips. Flat sensor allows measurement of liquids and semi-solids. Dual-action sensor guard protects the electrode. Ideal for solutions; spoon reservoir captures samples from nutrient stock tanks, drippers, and plug tray squeeze tests. EC Meters Electrical conductivity (EC) is a measure of the total soluble salt content in media and nutrient solution. Low EC can be an indicator of inadequate fertilization, while high EC can lead to toxic levels of nutrients. Rainfall/irrigation, leaching, soil attributes, fertilization practices, and crop maturity all impact nutrient availability and consequently EC levels. Proactively monitoring EC levels allows adjustments to be made in fertilization programs before permanent damage occurs to the crop. FieldScout Direct Soil EC Meter Item 2265FS Fast, easy, and direct EC measurements in soils or solution. Patented paired sensor technology for highly accurate and responsive readings. Direct stick design allows EC and changes in salinity to be measured through root zone. Provides the accuracy of standard saturated media extract readings, built with a direct soil probe design for immediate results while in the field. Cardy Twin EC Meter Item 2205 Ideal for water quality and greenhouse applications. Ultra-slim meter features push-button auto-calibration and automatic temperature compensation. Miniature EC sensor allows measurement of samples as small as a single drop. Waterproof EC Meter Item 2246 Highly accurate, multi-range sensor that measures conductivity, TDS, salinity, and temperature. Meter offers 3 ranges to measure liquid samples. Six units of measurement: µs cm -1, ms cm -1, ppm, ppt, mg L -1, and g L -1. Internal memory stores up to 15 labeled readings for easy recall.

3 Nutrient Management Horticulture Products Root Zone Environment All crops require proper nutrition to maintain quality and achieve maximum economic yield. Our tools can be used to measure nitrates (NO 3- ), Sodium (Na + ), and Potasium (K + ) both in the soil and plant tissue. Measurements can be made easily, quickly, and accurately in the greenhouse. Cardy Nitrate Meter Item 2305G Laboratory accuracy in a waterproof and pocket-sized meter. Sensor is stored dry and can be easily replaced. Measures nutrient solution, tissue sap, soilless media, and water samples. Easy one or two point calibration; accurate for samples as small as 0.3 ml. Endorsed by university researchers, leading growers, extension personnel, and soil laboratories. Cardy Potassium Meter Item 2400G Cardy Sodium Meter Exceptionally small and portable. Measures nutrient solution, tissue sap, soilless media, and water samples. Accuracy correlates well with laboratory analysis, with automatic range switching from 0 to 9,900 ppm. Endorsed by university researchers, leading growers, extension personnel, and soil laboratories. Item 2500G Handheld Sap Press Item 2725 High quality, stainless steel sap press for use with Cardy meters or refractometers.
