According to a number of NASA patents, the Spectrum chlorophyll meter uses light reflection technology to obtain important indicators of early plant growth: relative chlorophyll content. It can detect an anomaly before the naked eye can detect affected plant growth. The laser position marks the boundaries of the leaf or planting area of the prototype, and the ambient light sensor automatically adjusts measured values for different lighting conditions.
While the CM-1000 calculates and displays the average of multiple readings, the built-in data logger simultaneously records each sample for computer analysis. The durable and ergonomic hand-held design makes the Field Scout chlorophyll meter an essential tool for efficient nitrogen fertilizer management.
