Milwaukee MT6003 N, P, K Soil Test Kit

The Milwaukee MT6003 test kit helps to determine the quality of plants and crops growth.  Growth depends greatly on the physical and chemical properties of soil, that is, the soil composition: minerals and organic matter, water, gases (like oxygen), carbon dioxide and living beings (primarily microorganisms like fungi and bacteria).

Soil is not only a support system; it supplies plants with water and nutrients. Each plant needs a soil composition in which it can better express its potential growth. For this reason, a correct balance in soil components is fundamental to ensure an optimal crop growth.

The most important elements for plant growth are nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K): for this reason, they are called essential nutrient elements, or macronutrients. These elements are usually added to the soil by fertilization. Other elements, like microelements, are generally present in enough quantities in the soil and the plants need them in smaller doses.

Milwaukee MT6003 NPK Soil Test Kit measures the concentration of the three elements N, P, K in a soil sample.  The kit features:

• 5 test tubes, spoons, brush, tube stand, colour cards, graduated card, and instruction manual
• Pre-made reagents for precision and ease-of-use
• Items marked with an expiration date and lot number for traceability
