Liming materials - Determination of product effect on soil pH - Soil incubation method

This European Standard specifies two methods of measuring the effect of the addition of any material claimed to have a liming effect on the soil, using the same basic principles. Method A measures the changes to the soil pH resulting from the addition of any material claimed to have a liming effect on a standard soil, measured over a period of one month. Method B assesses the efficiency of any material claimed to have a liming effect, using a range of defined soils and measured over a period of up to 2,5 years. These methods allow comparison of products under controlled climatic conditions but do not replace field experiments. The methods are not applicable to mineral products coarser than 6,3 mm for method A or 20 mm for method B.

Kalkdünger - Bestimmung des Produkteinflusses auf den Boden-pH-Wert - Bodeninkubationsverfahren

Dieses Dokument legt zwei Verfahren (Verfahren A und Verfahren B) zur Messung der Auswirkungen fest, die sich ergeben, wenn Materialien für die eine Kalkdüngewirkung im Boden beansprucht wird, in Böden eingebracht werden, wobei für beide Ver¬fahren dieselben Grundprinzipien angewendet werden.
Mit Verfahren A werden die Veränderungen des Boden-pH-Wertes gemessen, die sich durch das Einbringen von Materialien ergeben, für die eine Kalkdüngewirkung in einen Standardboden beansprucht wird, wobei die Messdauer einen Monat beträgt.
Mit Verfahren B wird der Wirkungsgrad von Materialien bewertet, für die eine Kalkdüngewirkung bean-sprucht wird, wobei eine Reihe festgelegter Böden über einen Zeitraum von bis zu 2,5 Jahren gemessen wird.
Die Verfahren sind nicht auf mineralische Produkte anwendbar, deren Korngröße über 6,3 mm bei Verfahren A oder 20 mm bei Verfahren B, bestimmt nach EN 12948, liegt.
ANMERKUNG   Diese Verfahren ermöglichen einen Vergleich von Produkten unter kontrollierten Klimabedingungen, ersetzen jedoch nicht die Feldversuche.

Amendements minéraux basiques - Détermination de l'effet d'un produit sur le pH d'un sol - Méthode par incubation du sol

Ce document spécifie deux méthodes (méthode A et méthode B) pour mesurer l’effet de l’ajout de tout matériau revendiquant un effet basique sur le sol, en utilisant les mêmes principes de base.
La méthode A mesure les changements du pH du sol suite à l’ajout d’un matériau revendiquant un effet basique sur un sol type, mesuré sur une période d’un mois.
La méthode B évalue l’efficacité d’un matériau revendiquant un effet basique, en utilisant une gamme de sols définies et des mesures faites sur une période allant jusqu’à 2,5 ans.
Les méthodes ne sont pas applicables aux produits minéraux plus gros que 6,3 mm pour la méthode A ou 20 mm pour la méthode B, déterminé selon l’EN 12948.
NOTE   Ces méthodes permettent de comparer des produits dans des conditions climatiques contrôlées mais ne remplacent pas les expériences au champ. Les méthodes ne sont pas applicables à des produits minéraux ayant une granulométrie supérieure à 6,3 mm pour la méthode A ou 20 mm pour la méthode B.

Sredstva za apnjenje - Določevanje vpliva sredstva za apnjenje na pH tal - Inkubacijska metoda

Ta evropski standard določa dve metodi merjenja vpliva dodajanja materialov z domnevnim učinkom apnjenja na tla z uporabo nekaterih osnovnih načel. Z metodo A se merijo spremembe vrednosti pH tal, ki so posledica dodajanja materialov z domnevnim učinkom apnjenja na standardna tla (izmerjeno v obdobju enega meseca). Z metodo B se ocenjuje učinkovitost materialov z domnevnim učinkom apnjenja na določena tla (izmerjeno v obdobju do največ 2,5 leta). Ti dve metodi omogočata primerjavo izdelkov v nadzorovanih okoljskih pogojih, vendar ne nadomeščata eksperimentov na terenu. Metodi se ne uporabljata za mineralne izdelke iz delcev, večjih od 6,3 mm za metodo A oz. 20 mm za metodo B.

EN 14984:2016 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 14984:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 260 “Fertilizers and liming materials”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 14984:2006. The following changes have been made to the former edition: a) effective neutralizing value by incubation (ENVI) added as alternative way for the expression of results; b) Formula for calculation of ENVI for method A added; c) Formula for calculation of ENVI for method B added; d) editorially revised. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 14984:2017



EN 14984:2016 (E) 5 Introduction The chemical methods for determining the neutralizing value (NV) (see EN 12945) and the reactivity (see EN 13971 and EN 16357) of liming materials are not always appropriate indicators for any material claimed to have a liming effect in the soil, particularly materials with a high organic matter content. The biological mineralization of organic matter contained in some products can, in the field, have an effect on pH, which cannot be quantified by the chemical methods. The two methods described in this document overcome these problems. Both methods characterize products through their effect on the pH of a soil under controlled, standard conditions, and establish the efficiency of products when applied to a standard soil. Method A specifies a reference soil with tight characteristics with respect to pH range before incubation, cation exchange capacity (CEC), mass fraction of organic carbon, and mass fraction of particles finer than 0,002 mm (clay). Method B can apply the same reference soil as Method A, but also allows alternative standard soils with a wider content of particles finer than 0,002 mm (clay), and a wider range of mass fraction of organic matter. Clay and organic matter are the decisive reactants to a liming material However, attention is drawn to the limitations of these methods. They are laboratory methods carried out under controlled conditions and care should be taken when applying the results to field conditions. The quality of incorporation of the liming material into the soil and the eventual need to break down the product agglomerates, together with the soil and climate conditions, can affect the results. Nevertheless, these methods allow a comparison of the potential neutralizing effect of liming products under optimum and reproducible conditions. SIST EN 14984:2017



EN 14984:2016 (E) 6 1 Scope This document specifies two methods (method A and method B) of measuring the effect of the addition of any material claimed to have a liming effect on the soil, using the same basic principles. Method A measures the changes to the soil pH resulting from the addition of any material claimed to have a liming effect on a standard soil, measured over a period of one month. Method B assesses the efficiency of any material claimed to have a liming effect, using a range of defined soils and measured over a period of up to 2,5 years. The methods are not applicable to mineral products coarser than 6,3 mm for method A or 20 mm for method B, determined according to EN 12948. NOTE These methods allow comparison of products under controlled climatic conditions but do not replace field experiments. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

Determine the dry matter content of the sample in accordance with EN 12048 or EN 12049. Determine the dry matter content of the soil in accordance with ISO 11465. It shall be used to adjust the mass fraction of soil in Table 1 to determine field water capacity in 5.4.3. Determine the smallest aperture size sieve from the range 1 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm and 6,3 mm that all the sample will pass. For mineral products use the sample as received. For organic products use the sample as received, but after homogenization, unless it contains coarse particles (equivalent spherical diameter greater than 1 mm). If the sample contains coarse particles, prepare it in accordance with EN 13040 so that all the particles will pass a 1-mm aperture size sieve. Determine in that case the fineness of the product. 5.4 Procedure 5.4.1 Preparation of the standard soil Dry the soil to constant mass at a temperature below 40°C, sieve on a 2 mm aperture size sieve (5.2.9) and use the soil that passes the sieve. Measure the initial pH of the standard soil in a settling suspension of water after 16 h in accordance with ISO 10390:2005, 7.1.3, 7.2 and 7.3 and record it. 5.4.2 Test portions Weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, two test portions each of the mass specified in Table 1. At the same time, weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, two portions of reference liming material (4.1) of the same mass as the test portions. NOTE The portion of reference liming material is equivalent to 2 250 units of neutralizing value per hectare, on the basis of 3 000 t of dried soil per hectare, and in the standard soil it will raise the pH by approximately one unit.

To avoid lack or excess of air, height of soil in the pots shall be between 50 mm and SIST EN 14984:2017



EN 14984:2016 (E) 12 150 mm. Add a test portion to each of two pots (pots A1 and A2). Add a portion of reference liming material (5.1.2) to each of two further pots (pots B1 and B2), and possibly more pots and leave the remaining two pots (pots C1 and C2) with just the standard soil. Thoroughly mix the contents within each pot. Onto the soil in each pot, slowly add, by means of a drip, a mass of water (5.1.3) corresponding to 70 % of the water field capacity (see Annex B) considered at free drainage. Weigh each pot and its contents and record the masses. 5.4.4 Incubation Maintain the open pots at a constant temperature of (20 ± 2) °C in the temperature-controlled room (5.2.1). Regularly check the water losses in the pots by weighing and adjust using a drip as often as necessary. The water contents shall not fall below to 60 % of the water field capacity. Thoroughly mix the contents of each pot before watering to avoid soil compaction. 5.4.5 pH measurements Measure the pH after incubations of 24 h, 2 weeks and 4 weeks. Thoroughly mix the contents of each pot. Take three portions, each of 20 ml, from each pot, thoroughly mixing the contents after taking each portion. Place each of these portions in a separate beaker (5.2.3). Continu
