Abstract

A given tolerance value on the declared nutrient content of fertilizers is permitted by some national laws. A statistical method to assess systematic exploitation of tolerance values by single nutrient fertilizer producers is proposed. Production of superphosphate was selected as the case study. The method was tested on a yearly production, on randomly selected samples, and on a generated series of samples; it was found to be simple and reliable. The method is theoretically expected to be more reliable than the Wilcoxon test recommended by French law for normal distributions; it appears to fit better than the Wilcoxon test to uneven production of fertilizers.
