1 Essential quality and labelling requirements Fertilisers Working Group meeting 2 June 2014 This revised presentation contains the latest contributions received from Member States and industry. It does not commit the EU Commission 1

2 Essential Quality requirements - One MS mentioned that accepting low nutrient products would lead to increased levels of contaminants in soils as the amount of fertilising materials required would increase -Other Member States insisted that the minimum nutrient content of inorganic fertilisers is set low enough so as not to exclude niche products. Farmers will be able to differentiate products for the professional market from products intended for consumer market.- 2

3 Essential Quality requirements - Product categorisation for organic-based products should be based on product weight not dry matter to ensure coherent classification (See for example ECOFI contribution) - Quality requirements should avoid for the same material to be find into several categories. A clear threshold should help the user understand the utility of the products. 3

4 Inorganic fertiliser Minimum nutrient content (Green = new suggestions) A. Solid primary and secondary inorganic fertilisers Minimum nutrient content on commercialised product (individual value qualifies the product as an inorganic fertiliser) PS: obligation to declare secondary nutrients in primary nutrients (See art 17 + presentation on labelling) N total: 2 % P2O5 total : 1% Min solubility levels for P forms? Water-soluble K2O: 1,5% Water soluble MgO: 1,5% Water soluble CaO:1,5% Water soluble SO3: 1,5% Na to be considered? 4

5 Inorganic fertiliser Minimum nutrient content B. Fluid primary and secondary inorganic fertilisers Minimum nutrient content on commercialised products (individual value qualifies the product as an inorganic fertiliser) PS: obligation to declare secondary nutrients in primary nutrients (See art 17 + presentation on labelling) N total: 1% P2O5 total :0,3% Min solubility levels for P forms? Water-soluble K2O : 0,5% Water soluble Mg:1% Water soluble Ca:1% Water soluble S:1% Na to be considered? 5

6 Fertilisers containing only one micronutrient Minimum requirements for: I. Micronutrient salts II. Micronutrient oxyde III. Micronutrient chelate IV. Micronutrient complex V. Micronutrient suspension VI. Micronutrient solution Possible for Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn for which harmonised rules have already been adopted. What about B and Mb? Can experts provide suggestions on possible generic quality criteria for fertilisers containing only one micro-nutrient? 6

7 Minimum micro-nutrient content in (refer to the existing tables of Section E) Table E.2.1. Solid or fluid mixtures of micro-nutrient fertilisers, percentage weight of fertiliser Table E.2.2. Primary and/or secondary nutrient(s) with micro-nutrient(s) applied to the soil, percentage weight of fertiliser. Table E.2.3. Primary and/or secondary nutrient(s) with micro-nutrient(s) for leaf sprays, percentage weight of fertiliser. COM : can we simplify by proposing an unique minimum content for micronutrients in mixtures? 7
