Measuring Size and Shape of Phosphates on the Analysette 28

Fertilizers are an integral part of farming, adding nutrients important for plant development to the soil. Since soils can be lacking in specific nutrients, fertilizers can be tailored to specific crop and field needs.

Phosphates, nitrates and potash are common parts of most fertilizers, containing the three main elements needed for plant growth. Balancing this mixture is important, as different plants require different nutrients to form flowers, leaves, stems, roots or fruits. Size and shape information can help determine the speed at which these nutrients can break down, how homogonous the mixture is and many other qualities. 

In this application note, a mixture of diammonium phosphate and monoammonium phosphate was tested on the Analysette 28, a dynamic image analyzer.
