Analysis
amendments and fertilizers
What capacity does my fertilizer have to improve my agricultural production?
We know that an agricultural fertilizer, whether of organic or mineral origin, has the function of improving chemical, physical and biological characteristics of the soil in order to provide good plant development. A fertilizer is a material whose main function is to provide plants with one or more nutrients, depending on its composition.
It is therefore very important to carry out a preliminary study of the physico-chemical parameters of amendments or fertilizers in order to verify their potential or possible harm.
