CALCULATION CHECK STATUS SPEC (R3Z) Element % N (Ammonium sulfate, SOP) % P 2 O 5 (Rock Phosphate, RP) % K 2 O ( Murite of Potash, MOP) % MgO (Kieserite) % B 2 O 3 (Boric) Spec elements 9.0 6.0 18.0 2.0 0.5 Analysis data 12.1 6.7 18.4 3.0 0.5 Calculation 8.28 Element % N (Ammonium sulfate, SOP) % P 2 O 5 (Rock Phosphate, RP) % K 2 O ( Murite of Potash, MOP) % MgO (Kieserite) % B 2 O 3 (Boric) Spec elements 9.0 6.0 18.0 2.0 0.5 Analysis data 12.1 6.7 18.4 3.0 0.5 Calculation

9. Determination of moisture content

10. Percent by weight W1 is the weight in g of the sample taken. W2 is the weight in g of the sample after drying to constant weight. Sample ID = 327 Sample weight (g) = 10.000 Dish weight (g) = 29.470 Weight (dish + sample) after (g)= 39.076 W1 = 10.000 W2 = 9.606 EXAMPLE CALCULATION MOISTURE (%)

11. CONCLUSION ELEMENT FUNCTION N To assist the growth of trees.   P Important in cell division and development of new tissue. K Required in large amounts for proper growth and reproduction of plants. Mg Building block of chlorophyll which makes leaves appear green. B Role in forming and strengthening cell walls.
