Slow-release fertilizers - Determination of the release of the nutrients - Method for coated fertilizers

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the slow release properties of nutrients from coated fertilizers. pH-dependent hydrolysis and degradation by biological or microbial mechanisms are excluded.
The specified method is only applicable to products releasing any nutrients by means of a non-biological process (i.e. those where the nutrients are released by a physical mechanism). Microbial attack on the coating (e.g. sulfur coated fertilizers) and the consequences thereof are not measurable by the technique described.
This method involves a lengthy process which may not be appropriate for day to day testing purposes. Accelerated methods may be used provided they are correlated with this standard. An example of such an accelerated method is described in annex B. Regression analysis may also be used for this purpose.

Langsam freisetzende Düngemittel - Bestimmung der Freisetzungsrate von Nährstoffen - Verfahren für umhüllte Düngemittel

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Eigenschaften von Nährstoffen hinsichtlich deren langsamer Freisetzung aus umhüllten Düngemitteln fest. Davon ausgenommen sind die pH-abhängige Hydrolyse und der Abbau durch biologische oder mikrobielle Mechanismen.
Das festgelegte Verfahren gilt nur für Produkte, bei denen die Freisetzung der Nährstoffe durch einen nicht-biologischen Vorgang erfolgt (d. h. solche, bei denen die Nährstoffe durch einen physikalischen Mechanismus freigesetzt werden). Ein mikrobieller Angriff der Umhüllung (z. B. schwefelumhüllte Düngemittel) und die daraus folgenden Konsequenzen sind mit der beschriebenen Technik nicht messbar.
Das beschriebene Verfahren umfasst einen sehr langwierigen Vorgang, der für alltägliche Prüfzwecke ungeeignet sein kann. Schnellverfahren dürfen angewendet werden, sofern sichergestellt ist, dass diese mit der vorliegenden Norm korrelieren. Ein Beispiel für solch ein Schnellverfahren ist in Anhang B beschrieben. Ebenso darf zu diesem Zweck eine Regressionsanalyse angewandt werden.

Engrais à libération lente - Détermination du mode de libération des éléments nutritifs - Méthode applicable aux engrais enrobés

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'identification et de détermination des propriétés de libération lente d'éléments nutritifs contenus dans les engrais enrobés. L'hydrolyse en fonction du pH et la dégradation par des mécanismes biologiques ou microbiens sont exclues.
La méthode spécifiée s'applique uniquement aux produits libérant des éléments nutritifs au moyen d'un procédé non-biologique (enrobage s'effectuant par un mécanisme physique) ; la technique décrite ne permet pas de mesurer l'attaque microbienne subie par l'enrobage (par exemple dans le cas des engrais enrobés au soufre) ni les conséquences entraînées.
Cette méthode implique  la mis en ¿uvre d'un processus lent  qui peut ne pas être approprié à des essais au jour le jour. Des méthodes accélérées peuvent être utilisées, pourvu qu'elles soient corrélées avec la présente méthode. Un exemple d'une telle méthode accélérée est donné en annexe B. L'analyse de régression peut aussi être utilisée.

0,5)°C6 SamplingSampling and sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482.The method of sampling and of sample preparation shall be indicated in the test report. Take care to avoid damageto, or destruction of, the coating.Do not crush or grind the sample.7 Procedure7.1 Preparation of the test solutionTransfer 500 ml of water, conforming to grade 3 of EN ISO 3696, into a beaker (5.1). Weigh, to the nearest 0,01 g,(10
0,1) g of the fertilizer, add it to the water in the beaker and record the time. Weigh the beaker together with itscontents: the sample of fertilizer, water and stirring rod. Note the total mass to the nearest 1 g. Start the stirrer (5.3)at a rotational frequency of approximately 300 min-1. Cover the beaker with a lid to avoid evaporation of water andmaintain the temperature at (25
0,5)°C with the temperature-control equipment (5.4).Each time it is desired to make a nutrient determination (see 7.2), decant the solution into another beaker (5.1),taking care to avoid any of the undissolved fertilizer being carried over. Refill the beaker (5.1) with water(conforming to grade 3 of EN ISO 3696) at 25°C so as to achieve the previously recorded mass. Continueextraction immediately.Continue the extraction procedure until more than 75 % of the nominal quantity of water soluble nutrients has beenleached.NOTEThe mass ratio of fertilizer test portion to water is limited to a maximum of 2 % to avoid concentration effects7.2 Time intervals for periodic determinations of nutrient contentDetermine the nutrient content at about ten time intervals until the stated release time (for release condition 3). Thefirst determination shall be made after (24
0,25) h (for release condition 1), another one shall be made at day 28from the beginning of the elution (for release condition 2). Choose the intervals for taking the samples with respectto the amounts of leached nutrient concentration and their detection limits (for slow release criteria 1, 2, 3 seeannex A ).EXAMPLEDetermination intervals for a slow-release fertilizer intended to release nutrients over eight months:1) D1after 24 h (day 1);2) D7at day 7 after start, period from day 1 to day 7;3) D14at
