Transport of nutrients

Temperature, light and relative humidity determine the rate of evaporation and therefore the uptake and transport of nutrients. The mutual relationship between the various nutrients present also plays a role, as too much of one element can inhibit the uptake of another. 

Crop Check

In oven-dried plant material, the dry matter analysis determines both the bound and dissolved nutrients. It therefore provides you with information on all the nutrients present in the plant. The results are presented in g/kg, μg/kg, %/kg or mmol/kg dry matter. Eurofins Agro has an extensive database of target values for a wide range of crops, allowing you to check whether the values presented in the analysis of your plant material match the guideline values for your crop.

Method

Eurofins Agro analyses samples according to prescribed and established methods. The analysis report briefly describes the method. Here you can also see which method has been accredited by the Accreditation Council. We then put a Q after the method.
In the tab Downloads, in the document “Methoden Horticulture onderzoek” (in Dutch) you will find a detailed description of the methods. This document supplements the information on the analysis report
