Fertilizer is any substance added to the soil to provide the chemical elements necessary for plant nutrition.
Fertilizers are substances that contain the nutrients necessary for the growth of plants. Although soil and water are sufficient to provide most of this food, the soil may lack some elements. In such cases, the soil should be supplemented with manure. Plants need elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, boron and in some cases molybdenum for growth and survival. Among them, nitrogen, phosphate and potassium are the most important.
Elemental analyzes of the fertilizer to be added to the soil are carried out for healthy plant growth in fertilizer analysis laboratories.
Fertilizer analyzes carried out in fertilizer analysis laboratories;
- Manure sieve analysis
- Fertilizer moisture analysis
- Fertilizer pH analysis
- Fertilizer total nitrogen, ammonium, nitrate, urea nitrogen analysis
- Fertilizer water-soluble phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur analysis
- Fertilizer iron, copper, manganese, zinc, boron analysis
- Fertilizer can be listed as heavy metal analysis.
ICP, nitrogen protein analyzer (Kjeldahl Method), centrifuge, oven, pH meter are among the products used in these laboratories.
