This International Standard specifies an ICP-OES method for the determination of the ammonium citrate, disodium-EDTA soluble phosphorus and potassium content in fertilizer extract solutions. This standard is suitable for all inorganic fertilizer products, whether compound or complex fertilizer products or blends thereof and straight concentrated fertilizer products. For organic fertilizers and for liquid fertilizers containing phosphorous acid (H₃PO₃ or phosphite), an alternative method that specifically measures PO₄ is preferred since the ICP-OES measures all elemental phosphorus, which can result in a high bias for these types of fertilizer materials. Due to the inability of the ICP-OES to differentiate between phosphorus species, under normal operating conditions, this method is primarily intended for fertilizer materials in which the source(s) of phosphorus is known. This standard is suitable for reference purposes.
