This Standard is in 3 parts: - Part 7: General terms - Part 2: Terms relating to fertilizers - Part 3: Terms relating to liming materials These definitions may not necessarily correspond with those used in national
16、legislation. NOTE I Attention is drawn to EN 13535, Fertilizers and liming materials - Classification, NOTE 2 A general index is incorporated in Part 3.

An index of all terms defined in this part of EN 12944, with their French and German equivalents, is given in annex A. 2 Definitions 2.1 fertilizer material, the main function of which is to provide nutrients for plants NOTE The spelling “fertiliser“ is
19、also used but “fertilizer“ is preferred. 2.2 inorganic fertilizer fertilizer in which the declared nutrients are in the form of inorganic salts obtained by extraction and/or by physical and/or chemical industrial processes NOTE 1 may, by convention, be classed as inorganic fertilizers. Calcium cyana
20、mide, sulfur, urea and its condensation and association products and bone superphosphate NOTE 2 The terms “mineral fertilizer“ and “chemical fertilizer“ are also used but “inorganic fertilizer“ is preferred. 2.3 chelated fertilizer fertilizer in which one or more micro-nutrients are held by organic

22、 but which does not have declarable phosphorus or potassium contents 2.6 synthetic organic nitrogenous fertilizer nitrogenous fertilizer in which the nitrogen is combined with carbon by industrial organic synthesis 2.7 organo-mineral fertilizer fertilizer in which declared nutrients include those of
23、 both organic and inorganic origin obtained by mixing and/or chemical combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers or products NOTE 1 The term “semi-organic fertilizer“ is used in some countries but “organo-mineral fertilizer“ is preferred. NOTE 2 Some countries do not allow mixtures of syntheti
24、c organic fertilizers with mineral and/or organic fertilizers. NOTE 3 peat or lignite. The term “organic-based fertilizer“ is reserved for mixtures of inorganic fertilizers and organic matter such as OBSI 01-2000 Page 4 EN 12944-1 1 999 2.8 slow-release fertilizer fertilizer in which the nutrients a
25、re present as a chemical compound or in a physical state such that their availability to plants is spread over a period of time 2.9 soil improver material added to soils, the main function of which is to improve their physical andlor chemical properties and/or their biological activity NOTE The term
26、 “soil conditioner“ is also used but “soil improver“ is preferred. 2.1 o straight fertilizer qualification generally given to a nitrogenous, phosphatic or potassic fertilizer having a declarable content of only one of the primary nutrients 2.1 1 compound fertilizer fertilizer, obtained chemically or
27、 by blending or both, having a declarable content of at least two of the primary nutrients NOTE 1 Fertilizers having a declarable content of two to the primary nutrients are known as binary fertilizers. NOTE 2 fertilizers. Fertilizers having a declarable amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
28、are known as NPK compound 2.1 2 complex fertilizer compound fertilizer, obtained by chemical reaction, having a declarable content of at least two of the primary nutrients 2.1 3 blended fertilizer fertilizer obtained by dry mixing of several fertilizer materials, with no chemical reaction 2.14 bulk
