Nitrate (NO₃⁻) – Measurement with HORIBA Instruments

Nitrate is an essential nutrient for plants, but in high concentrations, it can lead to environmental issues. Accurate measurement of nitrate is therefore crucial for agriculture, environmental monitoring, and water quality.

Why is nitrate measurement important?

  • Agriculture: Optimizing fertilizer application to promote plant growth while avoiding over-fertilization.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Controlling nitrate pollution in water bodies to prevent algal blooms and oxygen depletion.
  • Drinking Water Quality: Ensuring that nitrate concentrations remain below legal limits.
