Weather: The N-Tester is not able to display future N 
soil supplies, e. g. from applied N that plants have not 
yet absorbed due to drought. Therefore, use your 
experience when evaluating the fertilizer 
recommendation. 

▪

 

Drought: Intensive drought can lead to an increased 
chlorophyll concentration in the leaves and to wrong N-
Tester readings. Therefore avoid measuring plants that 
suffer from visible drought stress (e.g. leaves rolled 
together). 

The following factors do not have an effect on the N-Tester 
reading: 

▪

 

Time of the day when measuring 

▪

 

Pesticides 

▪

 

Moisture on the leaf 

▪

 

The use of strobilurins 

▪

 

Yield level 

 

Carry out measurements 

Each measurement comprises the following steps: 

▪

 

Calibrate internally (after the device has been switched 
off) 

▪

 

Measure 30 x 

▪

 

Read off and evaluate the measuring result
