Description
Model: HI7051L
HI7051L Soil Preparation Solution is an electrolyte solution used to measure soil pH. Soil pH is usually measured with a mixture of water or electrolytic slurry, where a set ratio of soil:solvent (solvent is water or electrolyte solution) is selected; Common ratios used for soil pH are 1:1, 1:2 or 1:5, where more solvent than soil is used when analyzing soils for high organic matter or clay content. This electrolyte solution should be used as it is less affected by the electrolyte concentration in the soil and gives a more suitable measurement for soils with fluctuating salt content due to weather conditions or crop residues. Using HI7051 solution before taking a measurement provides a more accurate pH reading for soil samples.
