 COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, FALL SEASON 1961 3
This bulletin contains results of analyses of 672 official samples of commercial
` fertilizers made during the period July 1 through December 31, 1961.
Separate tables are provided for the results of analysis of mixed dry fertilizers,
mixed liquid fertilizers, straight materials and boron. Table A shows the amount of
fertilizer used in Kentucky from 1918 to 1961.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
· The information given should be useful to farmers, agricultural workers, and
company representatives in determining how closely a given manufacturer or plant is
meeting the chemical guarantee printed on the bag or tag for all or specific ferti-
lizers. This may be done by comparing the guarantee shown at the beginning of each
listing of samples with the actual analysis in the columns at the right in terms of
{ nitrogen, available phosphoric acid and potash.
An additional means of comparing guarantees with the analyses of samples is in
the percent of relative value found, shown in the extreme right-hand column. The
following examples illustrate how this relative value is calculated:
A 5-l0-15 sulfate fertilizer is guaranteed to contain 5 units of Nitrogen, l0
units of Available Phosphoric Acid and 15 units of Potash. Factors for computing
the relative value of these plant foods are: 3 for Nitrogen, 2 for Available Phos-
phoric Acid and l for Potash. Thus the combined guaranteed value of the product
represented is calculated:
· 5.0 Units of Nitrogen x 3 = 15.0
_ 10.0 Units of Available Phosphoric Acid x 2 = 20.0
15.0 Units of Potash x l = 15.0
Total computed guaranteed value 50.0
The same procedure is followed for "found values." Assuming a sample of 5-10-15
was found to contain 5.1 units of Nitrogen, 10.2 units of Available Phosphoric Acid
and 15.1 units of Potash, the relative found value is computed:
I 5.1 Units of Nitrogen x 3 = 15.3
10.2 Units of Available Phosphoric Acid x 2 = 20.4
15.1 Units of Potash x l = 15.1
Total computed value 50.8
50.8 (computed found value of sample) divided by 50.0 (computed guaranteed value)
times 100 (to arrive at percentage) gives 101.6 as the percent of the relative value
found.
In some samples a deficiency in one nutrient is accompanied by an over-run in
another nutrient. This may be evidence of improper mixing or weighing by the manu-
. facturer. Extreme variations of this kind cannot be attributed to separation of
materials (segregation) after the product is bagged though this may be a minor factor.
Excess of one nutrient cannot compensate for deficiency of another nutrient. The
purchaser is entitled to receive the full guarantee of all nutrients as expressed by
the manufacturer's guaranteed analysis.
The resllts of analyses of all inspection samples are given in tables l, 2, 3,
4 and 5. If an analysis shows a deficiency of more than the tolerance, the amount
claimed for Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid or Potash, or if the percent of the relative
— value is 97 or less, the result is indicated by an asterisk.

TONNAGE OF FERTILIZER SOLD
The tonnage of fertilizer sold in 1961 was 570,703 tons. This represents an increase
of about 6700 tons over 1960. There was a decrease of about 1900 tons in total mixed
fertilizer sold and an increase of about 8600 tons of fertilizer materials.

NUMBER OF GRADES NEEDED IN KENTUCKY
The Departments of Agronomy and Horticulture of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station consider that eleven ratios and minimum grades of mixed fertilizer, together with
superphosphate, nitrogen and potash salts will answer the present needs of Kentucky
agriculture.
A list of eleven ratios and minimum grades and corresponding higher analysis grades,
except 4-16-4, recommended for field crops are shown below.
Ratio Minimum Grade Higher Analysis Grade i
0-1-1 0-20-20 0-24-24, 0-30-30
O-1-2 0-10-20 0-12-24, 0-15-30, 0-20-40
0-1-3 0-10-30 0-12-36, 0-15-45
1-1-1 10-10-10 l2-12-12, 14-14-14
1-1-3 6- 6-18 8- 8-24
1-2-2 5-10-10 6-l2-12, 8-16-16, 10-20-20
1-2-3 5-10-15 6-12-18, 9-18-27
1-3-2 4-12- B 5-15-10, 6-18-12
1-4-1 4-16- 4 For Plant Beds Only
1-4-4 5-20-20 6-24-24, 8-32-32
2-1-1 12- 6- 6 16- 8- B, 32-16-16
Higher grades of any ratio, except 4-16-4, are both recommended and encouraged. None *
of the recommended minimum grades of mixed fertilizer contain less than 24 units of plant
food. Low grade fertilizers are less economical because costs of mixing, bags, freight,
and other incidental costs are the same per bag regardless of analysis.
There is also a distinct advantage to the manufacturer to hold the number of grades
to a minimum, since a smaller number of grades can be mixed and distributed more economically. ,
The Agronomy Department suggests grades in the following ratios for tobacco: 1-1-3,
1-2-2, 1-2-3. Apply needed potash as sulfate of potash for tobacco. The other ratios
listed are for general field crops, meadows and pastures.
More detailed suggestions for fertilizing field crops, using the above ratios and
grades are contained in Miscellaneous Circular 10A from this Station.
INFORMATION IS GIVEN FOR SAMPLES WHERE THE WORDS "SEE NOTE" IS SHOWN AS FOLLOWS:
Note 1. See Table 5 for results of analyses of boron in fertilizer.
Note 2. Fertilizer represented by this sample returned to plant and re-worked.
Note 3. Purchaser received refund based upon this analysis.
Note 4. Product sold according to laboratory finding.
Note 5. Returned to plant.
