As part of its services, AGES offers a wide range of possible analyses for fertilisers.
This includes both mineral fertilisers as well as organic fertilisers such as farmyard manure (manure, slurry and liquid manure), fermentation residues and compost or straw as well as other residues from crop production and animal by-products.
Nutrient balances are of special importance in order to be able to use resources cost-effectively, particularly with the increased requirements in agriculture. The creation of an evenly proportioned nutrient balance allows the optimisation of crop production (e.g. yield, quality, etc.) as well as the reduction of environmental problems (e.g. nitrate leaching, eutrophication, etc.).
In order to meet these requirements and use in-house resources efficiently, a soil analysis is particularly useful, followed by an examination of the fertilisers available, as for example manure.
The same applies to hobby gardening, where an analysis of the fertiliser applied (e.g. compost) brings knowledge about nutrient supply that can be effectively used.
In this case we also recommend a previous soil analysis or the implementation of soil checks. AGES offers a diverse range of analyses to examine the quality of mineral as well as organic fertilisers, growing media, soil and plant additives, allowing to secure a sustainable product quality.
