How nitrogen in soil is detected?

All soil contains nitrogen - it is a matter of how much. The relative amount of nitrogen in soil can be determined with as small soil sample and a reagent for nitrogen from a soil test kit (simple soil test kits are sold in every garden center). The results do not tell you the "amount" of nitrogen in the soil, only if there is enough for healthy plant growth, or if the amount of nitrogen is too poor for healthy plant growth
