FAQ to chlorophyll meter: Your ultimate guide to improve agricultural production.
Are you contemplating adding a chlorophyll meter to your research organizations or colleagues? This comprehensive FAQ guides offer essential information to assist you in making an informed decision. As a premier manufacturer of plant phyenotype analysis equipment, we recognize the distinctive requirements of chlorophyll meter.
What Is A Chlorophyll Meter?
A leaf chlorophyll meter units is to determine the relative chlorophyll content or "greenness" of plant leaf, providing an indicator of plant health and nitrogen levels, non-destructive the plant leaves.

What Does A Chlorophyll Meter Do?
The Chlorophyll content meter instantly measures the relative chlorophyll content (in SPAD) or greenness of the plant, the leaf temperature, to understand the true nitrogen requirement of the plant and to know if the soil is nitrogen deficient or if nitrogen fertilizers have been applied too much. This instrument can be used to increase the utilization of nitrogen fertilizer and protect the environment.
What Is The Consist Of a Chlorophyll Meter?
A handheld chlorophyll meter has the host, battery, calibration board, cable, charger, and straps.
How To Use A SPAD Chlorophyll Meter?
Preparation: Ensure that the instrument is fully charged or that new batteries are installed, and check that the instrument is in good condition with no obvious damage, stains or malfunctions. Select healthy, pest-free, undamaged and representative plant leaves as samples.
Calibration: according to the requirements of the instrument manual, use the standard tablets or the specified way to calibrate, after calibration, the instrument is automatically adjusted to the best measurement state.
Measure the blade: Open the measuring head gently, place the selected blade flatly in the measuring window, close the measuring head so that the blade completely covers the measuring area, press the measuring button and wait for the result to be displayed.
Read the result: After the measurement, the screen displays the relative chlorophyll content or SPAD value and records the data of each sample.
Multi-point measurement: For the same plant, the leaves are selected from multiple parts for measurement to improve the representativeness of the data.
Data processing: After collecting the data, analyze it with statistical software or tools to assess plant growth, nutritional status, etc.
How Much Is A Chlorophyll Meter?
The price/cost of a plant chlorophyll meter is about 400-1800usd/set.
To know the exact price, you can ask your preferred chlorophyll meter manufacturers to provide a quotation for the type you want.
What Instrument Is Used To Measure Chlorophyll Content In Plants?
The handheld digital chlorophyll analyzer can non-destructive detect the relative chlorophyll content and leaf temperature value of leaves. By measuring chlorophyll content, the efficiency of plant photosynthesis and the health status of leaves can be evaluated.
What Is The Advantages Of Chlorophyll Meter?
Non-Destructive and Quick Testing:
Non-Destructive: Chlorophyll concentration meters gauge chlorophyll levels in plant leaves without causing harm, enabling multiple assessments during the growth period.
Efficient: The measurements are fast and simple, taking just a few seconds, as opposed to the time-consuming process of sending samples to a laboratory for traditional tissue analysis.
User-friendly: Chlorophyll meters are crafted for simplicity in operation, necessitating only basic training.
What Is The Basic Principle Of Chlorophyll Meter?
According to the chlorophyll spectral absorption routine, two different light-emitting tubes were used to irradiate the leaves, and the relative chlorophyll content or greenness within the leaves was calculated by measuring the intensity of the light transmitted through the leaves.
What Are The Common Problems And Solutions Of Chlorophyll Meter?
Problem 1: The power switch is turned ON, but the display does not show anything.
Reason: This problem is generally a power problem, check whether the battery is installed correctly, check whether the battery is still charged.
Treatment: Install the battery correctly according to the instructions or please replace the battery.
Problem 2: The measured values in the memory disappear.
Cause: This problem generally occurs because the instrument's power is turned OFF halfway through the measurement of a batch of samples, and after the instrument's power is turned OFF, the data in the memory will be deleted.
Treatment: When measuring a batch of samples, do not turn the power off OFF in the middle of the measurement. If the instrument has a built-in data collector, please use the data collection software to download the previous data.
Problem 3: When measuring the same position on the same blade, the reading changes.
There are generally the following reasons for this problem:
There are water drops or stains near the transmitting window or receiving window of the measuring head.
Treatment: Clean the emission window and receiving window with a clean, dry soft cloth.
The position of the sample blade is not placed correctly;
Treatment: Place the measurement position of the sample between the center line of the measuring head and cover the receiving window* according to the instructions.
How To Determine Plant Nitrogen Deficiency By Chlorophyll Meter?
The use of portable chlorophyll meter to measure the chlorophyll content of plant leaves, through the chlorophyll content to determine the nitrogen deficiency, in the current use of a wider range of specific practices are: set up a piece of nitrogen supply in the field for the crop to say in the luxury of absorbing the state of the control zone, the crop's nitrogen demand through the comparison of the field and the control area of the crop chlorophyll meter readings to determine that, so that you can avoid the impact of some factors.
This can avoid the influence of some factors, so as to reduce the error by comparing the two sides, and also reduce the waste of measurement time. The use of chlorophyll meter to determine the plant's nitrogen deficiency is feasible, through experimental verification in the crop yield does not reduce at the same time can reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer up to 10%.
Chlorophyll meter can not only judge the chlorophyll content of plants, but also provide data information for the application of nitrogen fertilizer. It ensures the effective photosynthesis of plants, as well as the high yield and quality of products.
How To Maintain A Chlorophyll Meter?
Chlorophyll content tester is a high-performance instrument, customers should pay attention to the maintenance and care when using or storing.
(1) Although the chlorophyll content tester has a waterproof function, it can not be immersed in water or washed with water, and should be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth after use in rainy days;
(2) Do not vibrate the instrument violently and do not press the display and measuring head strongly;
(3) Don't put the instrument under the sun or near the heat source;
(4) Turn off the instrument after use.
(5) When the instrument is dirty, try to wipe it with a dry cloth, and do not touch the surface of the instrument with alcohol or chemicals.
(6) Do not disassemble the instrument.
(7)Keep the temperature at -20~55℃, don't put it in high temperature and high humidity condition, it should be put together with some desiccant.
(8)If it is not used for more than two weeks, the battery should be taken out.
