How to Take a Brix Reading.

Take Sap Sample from a leaf. Open the daylight plate, Place one or two drops on the refractometer prism. Close the daylight plate. Make sure the sample is spread over the prism surface. Look at the brix scale through the eyepiece. Take a note of the reading.

Instant Results

While laboratory soil and tissue tests are good and necessary tools, we often don’t receive the results for several days, or even up to two weeks in some cases. On a growing crop, that can be too late. With this in mind, we developed a diagnosis of plant health based on liquid pH values of plant tissue sap.

Why Test Plant Sap PH?

Simple to use and 100 percent accurate, a quick plant tissue pH test is an instant snapshot of the state of health of any plant and can tell us the following information:
1. Enzymatic breakdown of carbohydrates (sugars) for proper growth and vitality of the plant.
2. Risk potential for insect damage.
3. Risk potential for foliage disease attack.
4. Nutritional balance in the growing crop.
5. Quality of nutrition in the fresh fruit or vegetable crop to be harvested.
6. Shelf storage potential of fresh fruits and vegetables.
