CL-01 Chlorophyll Meter

Soil & CropsPhotosynthesis Chlorophyll & Respiration

The CL-01 Chlorophyll Content Meter provides a convenient, low-cost method of measuring the relative chlorophyll content of a leaf sample. The measurement of chlorophyll content provides an indicator of photosynthetic activity relating to the nitrogen concentration of the sample. This is particularly significant in plant growth programs where effects of the addition of nitrogen to a crop may be closely monitored.
