The PingMeterTM: Field Meter and Computer

A Hand-held Precision Plant Meter for the instant determination of the nitrogen, chlorophyll and water content of plant leaves using patent-pending technology developed at Oregon State University.  Our meter easily and quickly gives you actionable plant health and stress information.
  
Features: Instant measurement of plant nitrogen and chlorophyll enables growers to adjust fertilization regimens during the growing season for optimum crop quality and yield.  All leaf readings and field notes are GPS tagged for visualization and analysis.  A knowledge-base is used for showing your readings' nitrogen/chlorophyll/water content in relation to industry-recommended levels.  Growers may then correct the deficiencies accurately with optimal use of resources and minimal contamination of the environment.
