Description / Abstract: The method is applicable to solid, but not powder fertilizers, dry only. It is not suitable for fertilizers which contain a large proportion of particles exceeding 5 mm in diameter.

If the fertilizer has absorbed moisture during transport or storage, it is necessary to dry it in an environmental chamber.
