Farmland pollution is becoming increasingly serious, largely due to improper fertilizer application. Therefore, combining modern testing technologies to promptly identify the components of various pollutants in farmland soil and formulate corresponding remediation measures can effectively improve soil properties and increase crop yield and quality. So, how much does fertilizer testing cost? Details are as follows:
How much does fertilizer testing cost?
There is no fixed price for fertilizer testing. The price varies depending on the testing institution and the specific tests performed. Generally, the cost for a single test, such as total nitrogen, total phosphorus, or total potassium, is around 80-100 yuan, while a full test costs approximately 1000 yuan.
What are the items tested in fertilizer testing?
1. Organic fertilizer
The testing items include organic matter content, total nutrients, moisture, pH, total arsenic, total mercury, total lead, total cadmium, total chromium, ascarid egg mortality rate, and fecal coliform count. The testing is based on the "Organic Fertilizer " (NY 525-2012).
2. Compound fertilizer ( mixed fertilizer )
The testing items include total nitrogen, available phosphorus, potassium, water-soluble phosphorus, chloride ions, and particle size. The testing standard is "Compound Fertilizers" (GB/T 15063-2009).
3. Microbial fertilizers
The testing items include the number of viable bacteria, the rate of miscellaneous bacteria, the number of mold and miscellaneous bacteria, total nutrients, organic matter, fineness, moisture, pH value, as well as the mortality rate of Ascaris eggs, the number of fecal coliforms, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and chromium. The testing standards are "Agricultural Microbial Inoculants" (GB 20287-2006), "Bio-organic Fertilizer" (NY 884-2012), "Compound Microbial Fertilizer" (NY/T 798-2015), "Agricultural Microbial Concentrated Inoculants" (NY/T 3083-2017), and "Inspection Procedures for Microbial Fertilizer Products" (NY/T 2321-2013).
