Whitetail Institute Soil pH Test Kit - 100 Strips

Get the most attractive, nutritious, and productive deer food plot possible by starting from the ground up with the Whitetail Institute Soil pH Test Kit. Designed specifically for the food plot manager, this kit takes the guesswork out of soil management by telling you exactly how much lime and fertilizer your plot actually needs so you don't buy more than necessary or waste time and money on the wrong inputs.

The kit includes 100 soil pH test strips covering a full 3.5 to 9.0 pH range, giving you enough strips to complete roughly 40 tests across your lawns, gardens, vegetable beds, and food plots. The color-coded strips react with a soil slurry to give a clear, at-a-glance reading of your soil's pH level, which is the single most important factor in determining whether your forages can actually pull the nutrients you are putting down.

Because most food plot forages perform best in a slightly acidic to neutral soil, running this quick test before you lime and seed pays for itself many times over. Simply follow the included instructions to collect a representative soil sample, mix it with distilled water, dip a strip, and compare the color to the chart on the bottle or in the guide to determine how much lime per acre is required to bring your plot into the optimum range.

Beyond pH, the test results help you select the right fertilizer blend and application rate for your specific soil type, so your seed dollars go further and your plot comes in thicker and more attractive to deer from the very first season. Compact enough to throw in a pack or glove box, the Whitetail Institute Soil pH Test Kit is the essential first step in any serious food plot program.
