Hydroponics Kits
Hydroponic culture is the growing of plants in a controlled environment with nutrient solutions, but without the use of soil as the supporting medium. Plant roots are fed directly, which is in contrast to conventional growing methods where plant food is applied to the soil and the roots extract the nutrients from the soil. Plants are either grown directly in nutrient solutions with only structural support or in beds through which nutrient solutions are periodically recirculated. Unlike field crops, hydroponically grown plants can be grown at great densities and with less concern about diseases initiated in soils or by insects and weeds.
Hydroponics has played a significant role in modern plant nutrition research. Scientists are able to isolate the effects of essential minerals on various stages of plant growth and to study the effects of single element deficiencies under controlled conditions. Over the years, such research has contributed to dramatic increases in hydroponic productivity and to a greater understanding of the growth potential achievable with chemical fertilizer applications.
Hydroponics Combination Outift
Model AM-41 Code 5406
A portable outfit with simplified testing of nine essential nutrients at an economical price. Colorimetric tests use Octet Comparators with permanent color standards for accurate visual color comparison. Simplified titration procedures use specially calibrated Direct Reading Titrators. Qualitative tissue tests for each nutrient are also included. Reagents for 50 tests per factor are supplied. An operator's manual and 75-page handbook are included.
An abbreviated version of our popular Model AM-41, the new Model HP-1 offers tests for pH and three key nutrient factors: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It allows the hydroponic hobbyist to maintain proper nutrient balance and to achieve optimum growing conditions in soil-less cultures. Reagents sufficient for 50 tests per factor and complete labware are foam-mounted in a sturdy carrying case. Instructions and 75-page hydroponics handbook are supplied.
Simply add pH indicator reagent to the sample solution in a test tube for a color reaction. The resulting color is read in an Octet Comparator with permanent color standards for pH values of 4.8, 5.2, 5.6, 6.0, 6.4, 6.8, 7.2, and 7.6. The kit has sufficient reagent for 50 tests and is packaged in a compact box. TO VIEW INSTRUCTION CLICK ON ORDER CODE
