Konica Minolta SPAD-502 PLUS Manuel utilisateur

NEW

A lightweight handheld meter for

measuring the chlorophyll content of

leaves without causing damage to plants.

CHLOROPHYLL METER

SPAD-502Plus

designed to help users improve crop quality and increase crop

yield by providing an indication of the amount of chlorophyll

present in plant leaves. The chlorophyll content of plant leaves

is related to the condition of the plant, and thus can be used to

determine when additional fertilizer is necessary. By optimizing

nutrient conditions, healthier plants can be grown, resulting in a

larger crop yield of higher quality.

The SPAD-502Plus determines the relative amount of chloro-

phyll present by measuring the absorbance of the leaf in two

wavelength regions.

The graph below shows the spectral absorbance of chlorophyll

extracted from two leaf samples using 80% acetone.

Fromthediagram, it canbeseen that chlorophyllhasabsorbance peaks

in the blue (400-500 nm) and red (600-700 nm) regions, with no

absorbance in the near-infrared region.

To take advantage of this characteristic of chlorophyll, the SPAD-

502Plus measures the absorbances of the leaf in the red and

near-infrared regions. Using these two absorbances, the meter

calculates a numerical SPAD value which is proportional to the

amount of chlorophyll present in the leaf.

Checking the nutritional condition of plants

The chlorophyll present in the plant leaves is closely related

to the nutritional condition of the plant. As can be seen from

the graph below, the chlorophyll content (represented by the

measured SPAD value) will increase in proportion to the amount

of nitrogen (an important plant nutrient) present in the leaf.

For a particular plant species, a higher SPAD value indicates a

healthier plant.

The SPAD-502Plus serves in a wide variety of plant applications. Through its history, the SPAD series has established itself as a leading

brand in chlorophyll measurement across the world. It has been serving researchers and growers, enabling them to perform eld tests

quickly and easily. The SPAD series has been used for various kinds of plants and its applications are still growing.

Trend graph display

Changes in measurement data over time can be seen,

and abnormal values can be noticed at a glance.

Compact and lightweight for portability

The SPAD-502Plus is small enough to t in a pocket and

is extremely lightweight (only 200 g) so it can be easily

taken anywhere.

Quick, easy measurements

Measurements are taken by simply inserting a leaf and

closing the measuring head. It is not necessary to cut

the leaf, so the same leaf can be measured throughout

the growing process.

Water-resistant

The SPAD-502Plus is water-resistant (IPX-4), so it can be

used outside even in the rain.

*It is not immersible, and should not be cleaned with water.

Low power consumption

The SPAD-502Plus uses LED light sources, resulting in

extremely low power consumption. One set of two AA-

size alkaline-manganese batteries can provide approxi-

mately 20,000 measurements.

Small measuring area

The measuring area is only 2 x 3 mm, allowing measurements

of even small leaves. A sliding depth stop is included for

accurate positioning on sample leaves.

High accuracy

High measuring accuracy (± 1.0 SPAD unit for rice-plant

leaves) allows close examination of growing conditions.

Nitrogen management

Nitrogen (N) management is a very important issue for plant growers

and for the environment.

For growers, knowing the N requirement of plant enables the proper

amount of N fertilizer supply to be managed.

Some experiments show that the SPAD series contributed to reductions

in the use of N fertilizer by tens of percents with no loss in yield.

By optimizing the N fertilization eciency in the eld, proper N ferti-

lizer management reduces the possiblity of excessive supply of fertilizer,

Data memory

The SPAD-502Plus has memory space for 30 measurements.

Data in memory can be recalled or deleted at a later time, and

the average value of all data in memory can be automatically

calculated.

Reading checker

A reading checker enables users to check that the SPAD-502 is

functioning correctly and providing accurate readings.

which can cause diseases in plants and environmental contamination.

There is increasing awareness of the need for applying the proper

amount of N fertilizer in respect to water contamination in both owing

streams and underground water due to nutrient leaching through the

eld's soil.

The SPAD series is playing a signicant role in day to day development of

N fertilizer application techniques.
