Fertilizer Confirmatory Method List

This document lists analytical methods for measuring nutrients in fertilizers. It provides the confirmatory method and any modifications for total nitrogen, soluble potash, available phosphate, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, zinc, and sulfur. The majority of minor elements (calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, zinc) are measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry with modifications to the extraction and use of ICP instead of AA for improved technology.
