Fertilizer Analysis

What Is Fertilizer Analysis?

Fertilizer analysis is a laboratory test performed to determine the actual nutrient content of the solid or liquid fertilizer you use. The values written on the packaging may not always match the fertilizer’s true composition.

Applying fertilizer without analysis means wasted cost and potential yield loss.

Why Should Fertilizer Analysis Be Performed?

To supply nutrients in the exact amount the plant needs
To prevent overuse or underuse of fertilizer
To reduce the risk of salinity and fertilizer burn in the soil
To detect low-quality or counterfeit fertilizer
To increase yield while lowering costs

What Does Fertilizer Analysis Show?

Depending on the fertilizer type, the following values are measured:

✅ Nitrogen (N)

✅ Phosphorus (P)

✅ Potassium (K)

✅ Sulfur (S)

✅ Organic Matter

✅ Amino Acid Content

✅ Micronutrients

✅ pH and EC

This makes it clear how beneficial the fertilizer will be for the plant.

How Is Fertilizer Analysis Performed?

A representative sample is taken properly from the fertilizer
It is sent to the laboratory
Chemical analyses are performed
Results are interpreted
The correct dosage and application method are determined

How to Take a Fertilizer Sample?

💧 For Liquid Fertilizer

Mix the product thoroughly
Pour into a clean PET or glass bottle
Fill the bottle completely
Write the product name and date on the label

🌱 For Solid Fertilizer

Take samples from different spots
Mix them to create one representative sample
About 500 grams is sufficient
Place in a clean bag and label it

What Do You Gain After Fertilizer Analysis?

✅ Fertilization Tailored to the Plant

Maximum yield with the right dose and timing

✅ Lower Costs

Savings by avoiding unnecessary fertilizer use

✅ Strong Roots and Growth

Healthier plants through balanced nutrition

✅ Balanced Soil

Protection of soil structure

✅ Higher-Quality Produce

More and better harvest

Conclusion

Fertilizer analysis is the foundation of informed agriculture. Analysis-based fertilization protects the soil, strengthens the plant, and increases the farmer’s profit.

Let our hands be in the soil and our hearts in the field.
