IIt is always better to have the knowledge of fertilizer which the farmers are purchasing or the manufacturer is manufacturing. The farmer or manufacturer must know their product by getting the material analyzed at a reputed fertilizer laboratory. Government of India / State government have its own fertilizer testing laboratories for quality check of the fertilizer at its own level, but being a purchaser the farmer or manufacturer must get their fertilizer sample analyzed at a fertilizer laboratory for their own satisfaction. In this connection, we at Bio Organic Solutions are conducting fertilizer testing in our lab as per FCO (Fertilizer Control Order) parameters and its analysis by the methods prescribed in FCO.
Fertilizer are the substances (whether organic / inorganic / manures / bio fertilizer) used or intended to be used as a fertilizer of the soil or crop and must be specified in part A of Schedule I FCO (1985) and also includes mixtures of fertilizer, provisional fertilizers, customized fertilizer. The nutrients present in the fertilizer when added to soil improve the growth of plant and gives tolerance to the plant against pests. All the major and micro nutrients are helpful in overall development of the plants.
It is always a good idea to know the analysis of the fertilizer you are purchasing or manufacturing. Regulatory specifications require manufacturers to be able to verify their claimed contents. Be sure to protect yourself and your investment by having your fertilizer products analyzed.
Fertilizers are substances containing chemical elements such as manure or mixture of nitrates that improves the growth of plants. They give nutrition to the crops. When added to soil or water, plants can develop tolerance against pests like weeds, insects and diseases. This means that the need for herbicides and insecticides are reduced producing healthier crops. Diseases can also be eliminated which gives aesthetic value to the harvest.
Fertilizers do not only assist in increasing yield and promoting healthy growth of plants but also in their development. They contain nitrogen which acts as a growth booster which can be characterized by the green colour of plants. Phosphorus substance in fertilizers aids in faster formation of seeds and root development.
Our laboratory is engaged in analyzing the following fertilizers -
Straight Phosphatic Fertilizers: Single Super Phosphate (16 % P2O5 Powdered), Triple Super phosphate, Bone meal, Raw Bone meal, Steamed, Rock Phosphate, Single Super phosphate (16 % P2O5 Granulated), Super phosphoric Acid (70 %), P2O5 (Liquid).
