BS EN 17721:2024

This standard BS EN 17721:2024 Plant biostimulants. Determination of the pH for liquid microbial plant biostimulants/pH in microbial products. Determination of pH is classified in these ICS categories:

• 65.080 Fertilizers

This document specifies a method for laboratory measurement of the pH value in liquid microbial plant biostimulants, using pH electrodes with a glass membrane. This document does not apply to plant biostimulants other than microbial plant biostimulants. This document is applicable to the blends of fertilizing products where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following component EU fertilising products categories: Fertilizers, Liming Materials, Soil Improvers, Growing Media, Plant Biostimulants and where the following category Plant Biostimulants is the highest percentage in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If Plant Biostimulants is not the highest percentage in the blend, the European Standard for the highest percentage of the blend applies. In case a blend of fertilizing products is composed of components in equal quantity or in case the component EU fertilising products used for the blend have identical formulations , the user decides which standard to apply.
