This document discusses types of fertilizers and their analysis. It identifies three main types of fertilizers - solitary fertilizers which contain a single nutrient, compound fertilizers which contain two or more nutrients through chemical processing, and mixture fertilizers which also contain multiple nutrients but are mixed without chemical processing. It then lists examples of common fertilizers and their purposes. The document outlines several methods for analyzing fertilizers including atomic absorption spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma, flame photometry, and Buchi distillation to test for nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and boron. It provides steps for sample preparation including grinding, weighing, adding water and acids, heating, filtering, and transferring solutions for instrumental analysis by ICP or
