What is BS EN 17043-Determination of molybdenum in fertilizers about?
BS EN 17043 is a standard that serves technical specifications for the determination of molybdenum in fertilizers that enables you to treat molybdenum deficiency and enables biological nitrogen fixation.
BS EN 17043 specifies a method for determining total and water-extractable molybdenum in mineral fertilizers containing less than or equal to 10 % molybdenum.
BS EN 17043 method applies to water and aqua regia fertilizer extracts obtained according to EN 16962 and/or EN 16964.
Who is BS EN 17043-Determination of molybdenum in fertilizers for?
BS EN 17043 on the determination of molybdenum in fertilizers applies to:
- Manufacturers of fertilizers
- Dealers and importers of fertilizers
- Testing houses and labs for fertilizers
- Quality assurance services
Why should you use BS EN 17043-Determination of molybdenum in fertilizers?
Molybdenum is one of the vital micronutrients and plays an integral part in regulating various plant functions. It is essential for plants as several enzymes use it to catalyse the most critical reactions in nitrogen acclimatisation, the synthesis of the phytohormone, degradation of the purine and the detoxification of the sulfite.
BS EN 17043 provides you guidance on reagents, including hydrochloric acid, copper solution, ascorbic acid, ammonium thiocyanate and more which enables you to standardize the analytical grade of sample solutions for the determination of molybdenum.
BS EN 17043 provides you guidance on the spectrometry of a complex with the ammonium thiocyanate method. BS EN 17043 also provides you with a step-by-step procedure for the method, which allows you to do the method correctly.
Guidance in BS EN 17043 enables you to determine the molybdenum in mineral fertilizers that enhance the nitrogen use efficiency in plants for improved quality and crop yields.
