Popis: The paper proposes a novel method for characterisation of the fertilised soil properties based on a dried-drop analysis. The method consists of a solution extraction from a soil and water mixture, dry pattern formation and image analysis. The soil solution distribution patterns are obtained for pure and fertilised soils indicating fertiliser impact on the pattern morphology. The results obtained allow identification of structural variations in the soil drop patterns that correlate with the added fertiliser. The classification results show that 79% of the soil samples with a single-fertiliser solution can be correctly classified. The impact of the fertilisers and soil textures on the distribution-pattern morphology is shown.
