Nmin method

The quality (creditworthiness) of a soil with regard to its suitability for agricultural use is determined by means of a soil assessment, which also applies to viticulture. A laboratory analysis of the soil must be carried out as a first step, especially when planting new crops or vines for the first time.

Determination of nitrogen

The Nmin method is a procedure for determining the mineral content of nitrogen available to plants in the soil. This is referred to as "Nmin" (in contrast to the organically bound nitrogen known as "Norg"). The organically bound nitrogen is not yet available to plants and is only gradually converted into plant-available nitrogen by microorganisms in the course of the annual vegetation cycle. However, nitrogen is already required at the start of vegetation.
