Model TL-2 - Turf Lab Field Unit
Ideal for Grounds Maintenance and Landscape Professionals
Today's turf specialists have a great deal of new technology at their disposal. Developments in machinery, seeds, and turfgrass research have resulted in greater plant response rates and more productive turf management programs.
The Turf Lab test kit offers a unique method for colorimetric analysis of turf soils. Nutrients are measured as clear liquid-extracts and are read against translucent color standards in an Octa-Slide comparator. This method gives a reliable, efficient, and practical way of measuring soil nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and pH. Another advancement is available with the potassium test, which uses a turbidity tube calibrated to read directly in pounds per acre for low to high values. Analyses of calcium and magnesium are conducted with Direct Reading Titrators.
The LaMotte Turf Lab outfit is designed for years of dependable performance and can be used efficiently and accurately in the field and in the lab. A 6 inch (15 cm) brass soil sampler with a small p inch (1 cm) core diameter easily removes soil samples from the turf. A pad of soil report forms, soil sampling bags, and a copy of the LaMotte Soil Handbook are furnished with complete reagents and labware in a rugged carrying case.
A simple test kit for soil science education or garden analysis. Rapid test procedures, diagrammed instructions, and laminated color charts are used to measure concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (15 tests each), and soil pH (30 tests). The Garden Guide manual and LaMotte Soil Handbook are included to interpret test results and give lime and fertilizer recommendations. TO VIEW INSTRUCTION CLICK ON ORDER CODE
