Round robin samples are
frequently used to provide comparisons of analytical results. The
first program using statistical techniques to evaluate fertilizer
sample results was the Magruder Check Sample Program.
Each subscribing laboratory
receives one or two samples each month. These samples typically
contain varying levels of the primary nutrients (N, P, & K) as
well as secondary (Ca, Mg & S) and many micro-nutrients of
interest. In addition, requests for analysis of contaminants of
interest, including trace metals (As, Cd, Cr, Co, Hg, Pb, Ni, &
Se) are often requested. Samples are analyzed according
to methods chosen by the
participating laboratory. The results,
with method designations are reported directly to the statistician. A
comprehensive statistical report is prepared, noting inter-laboratory
bias and precision, with
a coded ranking of individual laboratories. These reports
are sent to subscribers for performance evaluation. Laboratories are
identified only by number, with laboratory identification and
performance held in strict confidence.
