AGRI-3-1 ICP-OES - Time
The AGRI-3-1 ICP-OES is an advanced instrument designed for research in the fields of agriculture, food, and the environment, providing sophisticated tools for measuring critical chemical processes. Using this device, one can perform accurate analysis of nutrient availability for plants, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and assess soil quality and plant absorption capacity. It also enables monitoring of heavy metal contamination, such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and nickel, which pose a threat to the environment. The device is used to measure organic matter decomposition in the soil, including the mineralization of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, and is ideal for developing custom fertilizers tailored to the specific needs of plants. Additionally, it is used for studying nitrogen fixation processes in soil and plants, contributing to improved soil fertility. The instrument also allows for water quality assessments in irrigation systems and tracking fertilizers in the ecosystem, thereby enhancing the understanding of fertilization dynamics and their environmental impact in agricultural settings.
