Organo-mineral fertilizers - Extraction of phosphorus soluble in a neutral ammonium citrate solution
This document specifies the procedure for the extraction of different organic and organo-mineral fertilizers with a solution of neutral ammonium citrate to enable a subsequent determination of phosphorus.
This document is applicable to the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil Improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants, and where the following category: organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If the organic fertilizer or the organo-mineral fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible.
Organisch-mineralische Düngemittel - Extraktion von Phosphor, der in neutralem Ammoniumcitrat löslich ist
Dieses Dokument legt das Verfahren zur Extraktion verschiedener organischer und organisch-mineralischer Düngemittel mit einer Lösung von neutralem Ammoniumcitrat fest, um eine anschließende Bestimmung von Phosphor zu ermöglichen.
Dieses Dokument ist auf Düngeproduktmischungen anwendbar, bei denen eine Mischung aus mindestens zwei der folgenden Komponenten besteht: Düngemittel, Kalkdünger, Bodenverbesserungsmittel, Kultursubstrate, Hemmstoffe und Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien, und bei denen die Kategorie organische und organisch-mineralische Düngemittel den höchsten Prozentsatz in der Mischung (Masse- oder Volumenanteil bzw. im Falle von Flüssigdünger Trockenmasseanteil) ausmacht. Wenn das organische Düngemittel oder das organisch-mineralische Düngemittel nicht den höchsten Prozentsatz in der Mischung ausmacht, ist die Europäische Norm für den höchsten Prozentsatz in der Mischung anwendbar. Im Falle, dass die Düngeproduktmischung aus Komponenten gleicher Menge besteht, entscheidet der Anwender, welche Norm angewendet wird. Variationen in analytischen Verfahren für Düngeproduktmischungen können zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen führen, da einige Komponenten oder Matrixwechselwirkungen das Ergebnis beeinflussen können. Validierungen haben gezeigt, dass die entwickelten Standardverfahren robust und zuverlässig über unterschiedliche Produktzusammensetzungen hinweg sind. Jedoch sind mögliche Interferenzen und unerwartete Ergebnisse bei der Analyse von Düngeproduktmischungen möglich.
Engrais organo-minéraux - Extraction du phosphore soluble dans une solution de citrate d’ammonium neutre
Le présent document spécifie le mode opératoire d’extraction de différents engrais organiques et organo-minéraux avec une solution de citrate d’ammonium neutre pour permettre le dosage ultérieur du phosphore.
Le présent document est applicable aux mélanges de produits fertilisants constitués d’au moins deux des composants suivants : engrais, amendements minéraux basiques, amendements du sol, supports de culture, inhibiteurs, biostimulants des végétaux et dans lesquels la catégorie « engrais organiques et organo-minéraux » représente le pourcentage le plus élevé du mélange en masse ou en volume, ou dans le cas d’un liquide, en masse sèche. Si les engrais organiques et organo-minéraux ne représentent pas le pourcentage le plus élevé du mélange, la Norme européenne relative au composant représentant le pourcentage le plus élevé du mélange s’applique. Dans le cas où le mélange de produits fertilisants est constitué de composants en quantités égales, l’utilisateur décide quelle norme appliquer. Les variations dans les méthodes d’analyse des mélanges de produits fertilisants peuvent conduire à des résultats différents, car certaines interactions de composants ou de la matrice peuvent affecter le résultat. Les procédures de validation ont montré que les méthodes normalisées développées sont robustes et fiables pour diverses compositions de produits, mais que des interférences éventuelles et des résultats inattendus lors de l’analyse des mélanges de produits fertilisants sont possibles.
