Secondary and Micronutrients
Element | Investigational Allowance |
---|---|
Calcium | 0.2 unit + 5% of guaranteed analysis |
Magnesium | 0.2 unit + 5% of guaranteed analysis |
Sulfur | 0.2 unit + 5% of guaranteed analysis |
Boron | 0.003 unit + 15% of guaranteed analysis |
Cobalt | 0.0001 unit + 30% of guaranteed analysis |
Molybdenum | 0.0001 unit + 30% of guaranteed analysis |
Chlorine | 0.005 unit + 10% of guaranteed analysis |
Copper | 0.005 unit + 10% of guaranteed analysis |
Iron | 0.005 unit + 10% of guaranteed analysis |
Manganese | 0.005 unit + 10% of guaranteed analysis |
Sodium | 0.005 unit + 10% of guaranteed analysis |
Zinc | 0.005 unit + 10% of guaranteed analysis |
(A) For zinc guaranteed at 0.75 percent Zn, the investigational allowance is calculated as 0.005 + 0.1(0.75) = 0.08 percent. An analyzed value for zinc of 0.66 percent (0.75 - 0.08 = 0.67) or less would be declared deficient and in violation. An analyzed value for zinc of 0.67 percent or more is within the investigational allowance for a zinc guarantee of 0.75 percent Zn.
(B) For zinc guaranteed at 36.0 percent Zn, the investigational allowance is calculated as 0.005 + 0.1 (36.0) = 3.605 percent. However, the maximum allowance is 1 unit (one percentage point). Therefore, the investigational allowance for a 36.0 percent Zn guarantee is 1.0 percentage point. An analyzed value of 34.99 percent Zn or less would be declared deficient and in violation. An analyzed value for zinc of 35.0 percent or more is within the investigational allowance for a 36.0 percent zinc guarantee.
Other Ingredient Guarantees or Claims
Ingredient or Claim | Investigational Allowance |
---|---|
Humic Acid | 10% of guarantee |
Soluble Silicon | 10% of guarantee |
Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate (CaSO4 • 2H20) | 5% of guaranteed analysis |
Gypsum Equivalent | 5% of guaranteed analysis |
Calcium Carbonate Equivalent | 5% of guaranteed analysis |
Lime Score | 5% of guarantee |
Vitamin B-1 (thiamine hydrochloride) | 30% of guarantee |
Total Phosphoric Acid (P2O5) | Refer to 3 CCR Section 2317.5(a), Available Phosphoric Acid (P2O5). The same investigational allowances apply. |
pH | pH 3.14% of required |
National Organic Program value (3.5 pH) (only required for organic input material liquid fish products) |
(A) For organic input material liquid fish products, the National Organic Program states that the pH cannot be lowered below 3.5. 3.5 pH--3.5(3.14%) = 3.3901 pH. Any value below 3.3901 pH would be in violation of the National Organic Program rule (7 CFR 205.601(j)(8)). Any value between 3.3901 to 3.4999 is within investigational allowance.
