Optimize Fertilizer Application for Maximum Yield

NECi's Soil Nitrate Test Kit delivers quick, reliable on-site pre-sidedress nitrate testing — no lab training or equipment required. Accurate soil nitrate data helps you apply the right amount of fertilizer for maximum crop yield, reduce input costs, meet nutrient management planning (NMP) requirements, and prevent groundwater nitrate runoff.

Applications

  • Pre-sidedress soil nitrate testing
  • Nutrient management planning (NMP) compliance
  • Optimizing fertilizer application
  • Preventing groundwater nitrate runoff
  • Environmental stewardship
  • Agricultural research and education

Kit Specifications

  • Detection Range: 0 - 50 ppm Nitrate-N (50 ppm Nitrate-N = 250 lb N/acre)
  • Results in less than one hour
  • On-site testing - no laboratory required
  • Easy to use - no lab training needed
  • Environmentally benign

How It Works

  • Prepare Samples: Collect soil samples and add to collection tubes with water to extract nitrate.
  • Mix & React: Add buffer and 1 drop of each sample to prepared cuvettes.
  • Develop Color: Add color reagent and wait for reaction to complete.
  • Read Results: Compare color to chart or use optional photometer for precise readings.

Kit Options

Choose from kits for nitrate analysis of:

  • 5 samples
  • 10 samples
  • 25 samples
  • 50 samples

Materials You Will Need

All you need is a pair of scissors, pen, and marker. Kit includes everything else you need to test.

Kit Contents

  • Cardboard Cuvette Holder
  • Sample Collection Tubes (contain water for sample extraction)
  • Squeeze Bulbs of Buffer
  • Snap Cap(s) of Nitrate Standard
  • Reaction Cuvettes (contain enzyme)
  • Pipettes
  • Snap Caps of Color Reagent
  • Large Measuring Spoon
  • Set of Instructions

Optional Upgrades for Enhanced Accuracy

While the kit includes everything you need for visual color matching, you have two optional tools to make reading results even easier:

GaiaXus Handheld Photometer (Optional)
For digital precision and data tracking, the GaiaXus photometer pairs seamlessly with our kits and connects to the GaiaXus Android app or GaiaXus iPhone app for easy result logging. This eliminates guesswork by providing exact numerical readings.

Free Nitrate Color Slider Web App (Optional)
Use our free web app for easier visual color matching. Instead of using the printed color chart, match your sample color on screen for more precise readings. No download needed - simply visit nitrate.com/app.
