Water quality is vital for the success of agriculture, and in turn, proper agriculture management practices are necessary to meet water quality standards and ensure ecosystem health. The quality of water entering an agriculture area is extremely important for agriculture success. High concentrations of trace metals can have negative effects on crop production.

Online monitors or offline analyzers can be used in agricultural applications to ensure the water quality entering an agricultural area is suitable for successful crop production and that water leaving an agricultural area is safe for the ecosystem.
