Agronomic Analysis of soils according to MINISTERIAL DECREE 13 September 1999 SO n 185 GU n 248 21/10/1999
The analysis of soil for agronomic purposes is useful for the defining fertility and providing fertilization recommendations. A correct and balanced supply of fertilizers allows first to contain production costs and then to obtain the maximum yield from crops. The starting point is therefore the chemical-physical analysis of the soil, which allows us to evaluate the availability of the elements, the relationships between them and the presence of factors that modify their availability. The supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium can be easily estimated by comparing the analytical results with comparative tables. An element may be present in good quantities but not be available for crops that…

Echter Wasabi im Produkt?
Wasabi ist mit einem Preis von 140 bis 300 Euro pro Kilo eine der teuersten Gemüsearten der Welt. Er stammt, wie sein lateinischer Name besagt (Eutrema japonicum), aus Japan. Mit dem heimischen Meerrettich (Armoracia rusticana) ist er nicht besonders nah verwandt; beide Pflanzen gehören jedoch zur Familie der Kreuzblütler (Brassicaceae). Produkte, die als Wasabi angeboten werden, bestehen oft hauptsächlich aus einer Mischung aus dem hiesigen Meerrettich, Senfpulver sowie Farbstoffen, die die als typisch wahrgenommene Wasabifarbe (stechend grün) erzeugen sollen. Tatsächlich ist echter Wasabi eher blassgrün, und er muss frisch gerieben werden. Nach maximal einer halben Stunde verliert er sein besonderes Aroma. Viele dieser Produkte dürfen dennoch als Wasabi bezeichnet werden…
