About...

PlantPen/N-Pen N 110 is a light-weight, battery-powered reflectance-based instrument that provides a convenient, cost-effective method for effective nitrogen management in plants throughout their growing season. Essentially, the N-Pen characterizes nitrogen amount by means of reflectance and by the concept of a close link between chlorophyll content and nitrogen content in plants.

Key Features

Lightweight, hand-held design
Non-invasive measurement method
Easy two-button operation

Quick and easily repeatable measurements
Battery-operated
Integrated GPS module

PlantPen/N-Pen N 110

Rugged and compact N-Pen can be used for plant biology research or for education. Due to an inbuilt GPS module and splash-proof cover is N-Pen suitable for field experiments. The measurement is non-destructive and permits quick, repeated monitoring throughout the growing season.

The device is equipped with rechargeable Li-ion battery. Measured data are sequentially stored in the internal N-Pen memory. Data transfer is via USB or Bluetooth communication. Comprehensive FluorPen 1.1 software provides data transfer routines and many additional features for data presentation in tables and graphs.

Currently Available Calibrations:

Maize
Wheat
Barley

APPLICATIONS

Significant yield increase
Quick tuning of nitrogen management in crops
Increasing nitrogen use efficiency
Reducing the risk of yield-limiting N deficiencies
Saving labor and/or application costs
Reducing the risk of excessive fertilizer applications and subsequent contamination of the environment
Agronomy research

PlantPen/N-Pen N 110 MEASURES

Nitrogen content in percentage is correlated with Normalized Difference Greenness Index: NDGI = (R780 – R560)/(R780 + R560)

SOFTWARE

FluorPen 1.1 software (Windows 7, or higher compatible)
Bluetooth and USB communication
Visualization and data transfer routines to Microsoft Excel (optional)
GPS mapping
