SPAD-502Plus Chlorophyll Meter

SPAD-502Plus Chlorophyll Meter

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SPAD-502Plus is a lightweight, handheld chlorophyll meter designed to measure the chlorophyll content in plant leaves without causing damage. It aids in improving crop quality and yield by indicating the chlorophyll levels, which correlate with plant health and nutrient needs.
Specifications: The device measures optical density differences at two wavelengths (red and near-infrared) to calculate a SPAD value, which is proportional to chlorophyll content. It features a small measurement area of 2x3 mm, suitable for small leaves, and has a memory capacity for 30 measurements.
Features: The SPAD-502Plus is compact, portable, and water-resistant (IPX-4), making it suitable for field use. It offers quick and easy measurements without damaging leaves, and has low power consumption, allowing for over 20,000 measurements on two AA batteries. The device also includes a trend graph display, data memory, and a reading checker for accuracy.
Applications: The meter is used across various plant species, including wheat, rice, corn, and cotton, to manage nitrogen fertilization efficiently. It helps reduce excessive fertilizer use, preventing environmental contamination and promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
Accuracy and Reliability: The SPAD-502Plus provides high accuracy (±1.0 SPAD unit for rice-plant leaves) and repeatability (±0.3 SPAD units). It operates effectively within a temperature range of 0 to 50°C and a relative humidity of 85% or less.
Safety and Compliance: Users are advised to read the instruction manual for safe operation. The device is registered under specific safety standards, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

SPAD-502Plus Chlorophyll Meter-2

The SPAD-502Plus is a compact meter designed to help users improve crop quality and increase crop yield by providing an indication of the amount of chlorophyll present in plant leaves. The chlorophyll content of plant leaves is related to the condition of the plant, and thus can be used to determine when additional fertilizer is necessary. By optimizing nutrient conditions, healthier plants can be grown, resulting in a larger crop yield of higher quality. The graph below shows the spectral absorbance of chlorophyll extracted from two leaf samples using 80% acetone. From the diagram, it can be...
