Hanna Instruments Nitrate Test Kit for Soil and Irrigation Water

Dual-purpose test kit for measuring nitrate levels in soil and irrigation water to study nutrient cycling and agricultural impact.

• Measures nitrate in both soil extracts and irrigation water
• Colorimetric method; no instrumentation required
• Designed for agricultural and environmental applications
• Quick, visual results for easy student interpretation
• Supports investigations of fertilizer use and nutrient cycling
• Aligned to environmental systems and human impact (NGSS: MS-ESS3, HS-ESS3)

This nitrate test kit allows students to analyze nitrate concentrations in both soil and irrigation water, making it ideal for agricultural and environmental science investigations. Using a simple colorimetric method, students can quickly obtain visual results without the need for complex equipment. The kit supports hands-on exploration of topics such as fertilizer application, nutrient runoff, and the nitrogen cycle. By comparing soil and water samples, students can better understand how agricultural practices influence surrounding ecosystems, reinforcing NGSS concepts related to human impact on Earth systems and resource management.
