Using a Refractometer to Test the Quality of Fruits & Vegetables
By Rex Harrill
http://www.crossroads.ws/brixbook/BBook.htm

Under the eco-farming framework, Bob Pike
developed a tissue test using ph, Brix, and EC.
Especially see the instructions for using and
interpreting these on-farm tissue tests. These are
used during the growing season to monitor plant
health status, to be followed up with sophisticated
foliar feeding blends and soil management practices
as needed.
