Essential items for material analysis are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). The ratio of nutrients required varies depending on the crops being cultivated, so it is necessary to know the nutrient ratios of the fertilizers used. In fertilizer registration, the measurement items may differ slightly depending on the municipality and type of fertilizer, but they are always required for organic fertilizers. In recycling-based circular agriculture, organic fertilizers are produced from a variety of raw materials. Since fertilizers serve as nutrients for vegetables and fruits and are absorbed by them, it is necessary to measure not only nutrients but also harmful factors such as heavy metals. Among special fertilizers, those made from pig manure tend to contain high levels of copper, while those made from chicken manure may contain high levels of zinc, and labeling these contents is mandatory. [Features] - Fertilizer components can be indicated as actual values or dry matter values. - In the case of dry matter values, moisture content is a required item. - Additionally, due to the nature of the analysis, there is a wind-drying process (natural drying stage), which takes longer than regular analysis. - The required sample amount is approximately 1 kg.
