WHERE THIS IS USED — 2 APPLICATIONS
Myron L publishes an application bulletin for each of these. The summaries below are ours; the linked bulletins are Myron L’s own and open in a new tab.
Environmental Monitoring
Wastewater, stormwater, surface water
Discharge to waterways, to municipal sewers and increasingly stormwater runoff all sit under permit limits, and demonstrating compliance means measuring at many points rather than one. Conductivity, pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen and nitrate together characterise both the health of a receiving water and the quality of an effluent, and handheld instruments make it practical to sample where the water actually is.

Controlled-environment agriculture
With no soil to buffer it, the nutrient solution is the entire root environment, and managing it is the whole job. Conductivity gives the dissolved nutrient strength and pH governs which of the seventeen required elements the roots can actually take up. Both drift as plants feed and as water evaporates, so they are checked and corrected far more often than in soil growing.
