Abstract
Described herein is a method of analyzing nutrient content in soil, the method comprising a) obtaining a soil sample, b) adding a liquid to the soil sample to form a soil slurry, c) flowing the soil slurry through a filter, whereby the filter is oriented such that the soil slurry flows downward through the filter at least partially under the effects of gravity, d) blending a reagent composition with the soil slurry to form a soil mixture, and e) measuring an absorbance of the soil mixture.
Claims8
A method of analyzing pH in soil, the method comprising:
- a) obtaining a soil sample;
- b) adding a liquid to the soil sample to form a soil slurry;
- c) flowing the soil slurry through a filter to form a filtrate;
- d) blending an indicator composition with the filtrate to form a soil mixture;
- and
- e) flowing the soil mixture through an analysis tool along a flow direction whereby a pH value of the soil mixture is measured;
- and
- wherein soil mixture comprises a surfactant and the flow direction is substantially horizontal and orthogonal to the direction of gravity.
