Short summary
We wanted to know how well the Dräger Tube method (DTM) is able to measure ammonia in agricultural experiments on small plots. We therefore compared the accuracy and sensitivity of Dräger Tubes in laboratory tests with more advanced analyzers. Dräger Tubes had a detection limit 3 to 4 times higher than expected. Since there are areas where the use of advanced analyzers is not feasible, the DTM should be improved, or simple and cost-effective measuring methods should be developed.
