In-field monitoring is a critically important component of the Nutrition Farming approach.

In-field sap monitoring is an immensely valuable strategy for improving nutrition efficiency and associated profitability. One significant issue is extracting sap from dry, leathery leaves, such as Macadamias.


NTS have constructed a specialised tool that can apply over 2 tonnes of pressure to literally draw blood from a stone (well not quite!). The NTS Heavy Duty Sap Extractor is a threaded screw-down compression device that collects the extracted sap in a well beneath the pressure point.


This sap can then be used in refractometers, ion meters, sap ph meters and other monitoring tools to allow much greater diagnostic insight.


This is a unique tool that we make in-house, so it may not be readily available in other countries. However, we can ship these extractors worldwide.


Benefits

  • Durable construction.
  • Rapid sap extraction
  • Affordable
  • Easy to use and clean.

The NTS Extra Heavy Duty Sap Extractor can be used with petiole or whole-leaf samples. Uses a screw-based compression action to squeeze plant material to extract any available sap. The unique positioning of the main pressure point is the key to the enhanced durability of this tool. OPERATION GUIDE 1. Always wear clean gloves when collecting and processing the sample to avoid contamination. 2. Once the sample is in place, crush it to bruise it only, then with a clean plastic tool or similar, raise and turn the sample. This will allow for greater sap extraction. It may be necessary to repeat the bruising and turning process 3 – 4 times. 3. When the sample has been sufficiently bruised, apply pressure to express the sap. Note: Avoid forcing leaf material through the holes, as this will restrict good sap flow

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight

Please note : although this unit is considered heavy duty compared to standard garlic crushers, excessive force can still cause breakage. Unfortunately we are unable to replace broken sap extractors. – The plastic head cleaning tool can be used to clear holes, but in some cases it may be necessary to use a toothbrush to thoroughly clean the unit. – If using sensitive ion meters it is advisable to wash the tool with distilled water between samples.
