RAPITEST Luster Leaf Electronic Soil Tester 1860

Rapitest 1860 Electronic Soil Tester in Sri Lanka

Soil pH and NPK Fertility Tester for Home Gardens

The Rapitest Luster Leaf Electronic Soil Tester 1860 is a compact electronic soil tester with a three-position switch for soil pH and combined NPK fertility. It gives a needle reading in about one minute and needs no chemical solutions. It comes with a guide listing ideal pH for over 350 plants and suits outdoor and indoor use. See our full range of soil testers in Sri Lanka.

The pH scale runs from 1 to 9, with the pointer resting at pH 7 (neutral). It is built to quickly tell acid soil from alkaline soil and, after one minute, weak from strong. The fertility reading covers nitrogen, phosphorus and potash in combination, not separately, and reports "too little", "ideal" or "too much". Treat it as an indicative guide, not a laboratory nutrient analysis. It is for soil only, never liquids. If you also want moisture and light readings, compare the Rapitest 1880 electronic 4-way analyzer. Every unit is quality tested, comes with a 1.5V AA battery included and carries a one-year warranty.
