Precision and Bias10.1 Interlaboratory Test ProgramAn interlaboratorystudy was conducted in accordance with procedures of Pra
21、cticeE 691. Three randomly selected test specimens for each of sixroot zone mixes were sent to nine laboratories for organicmatter content determinations using Method A, Loss on Igni-tion. The mixes were representative of sandy root zone mixesused on turf grass areas and were mixtures of either (1)
22、sandand peat, (2) sand and soil, or (3) sand, soil, and peat.10.2 Test ResultThe following precision information fororganic matter content is in the unit of percentage and therepeatability and reproducibility limits, as a percentage of theorganic matter content, is for the comparison of two testresu
