 COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, 1954 3
This bulletin contains analyses of commercial fertilizers made between July 1
and December 31, 1954. Analyses of samples made between January 1, 1954 and June
30, 1954 were published in Regulatory Bulletin 118.
TONNAGE OF FERTILIZER SOLD
Manufacturers reported that 580,410 tons of commercial fertilizer were sold in
Kentucky during 1954, an increase of 3.5 percent from 1953. No superphosphate was
distributed in Kentucky under the "Contractual Plan" by the Production and Marketing
Administration during this period.
The tonnage of commercial fertilizer sold during 1954, as reported by manu-
facturers, is given in tables A, B and C.
PLANT FOODS OR NUTRIENTS
The minimum percentages of guaranteed plant foods, or nutrients, present in
commercial fertilizer are printed on the bag as nitrogen, available phosphoric acid,
and potash. These are the nutrients needed by plants in largest amounts and also those
in which the soil is most likely deficient. The element corresponding to phosphoric
acid is phosphorus and the element corresponding to potash is potassium. Boron may
also be guaranteed.
FERTILIZER GRADE
Grade designates the minimum percentage of nitrogen, available phosphoric acid,
and potash in the fertilizer. A 5-10-15 grade means that the fertilizer contains 5 per-
cent nitrogen, 10 percent available phosphoric acid, and 15 percent potash. The nu-
trients are always listed in this order. A 0-20-0 grade refers to a superphosphate
fertilizer containing 20 percent available phosphoric acid. A 0·0-60 grade refers to a
potash fertilizer containing 60 percent potash.
NUMBER OF GRADES NEEDED IN KENTUCKY
The Department of Agronomy of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station
considers that nine 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 the nine ratios and minimum grades and corresonding higher analysis
grades recommended by the Agronomy Department for field crops are shown below:
Ratio Minimum Grade Higher Analysis Grades
0-1-1 0-12-12 0-14-14, 0-20-20,0-24-24
0-30-30
0-1-2 0-10-20
O-2-l 0-14-7 0-16-8
1-1-1 8-8-8 10-10-10,12-12-12,14-14-14
1-1-3 6-6-18

 4 REGULATORY BULLETIN 121
Ratio Minimum Grade Higher Analysis Grades
1-2-2 5-10-10 6-12-12, 8-16-16
1-2-3 5-10-15 6-12-18
l-3-2 4-12-6 6-18-12
1-4-4 3-12-12 4-16-16, 5-20-20
Higher grades of any ratio also are both recommended and encouraged. None of
the recommended minimum grades of mixed fertilizer contain less than Z0 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 also is 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:
1-2-3, 1-Z-2, 1-1-3. 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 10 from this Station.
REFUNDS
When a sample of fertilizer is below the guaranteed analysis to such an extent
that the relative value index is deficient by more than $1, 50 per ton, the manufacturer
of the fertilizer and the dealer from whom the sample was obtained are given a special
notice.
When such a deficiency occurs it is suggested to the manufacturer that a pro-
portionate refund be made to all purchasers of the stock of fertilizer whose names can
be obtained from the dealer. lf names of purchasers cannot be obtained, the refund may
be made to charity inthe county where the fertilizer was sold.
Refunds are also suggested on potash results when the guarantee is from sulfate
and there is an excess of muriate present of more than $1.00 a ton in relative value.
FAR.MERS' SAMPLES
Anyone in Kentucky who buys a commercial fertilizer for his own use may sub-
mit samples for free analysis to the Department of Feed and Fertilizer, Agricultural
Experiment Station, Lexington 29, Kentucky.
1, Samples taken according to provisions of K. R. S. No. 250, 360 through
No. 250.480 (Kentucky Fertilizer Law). - To make the sample official it should be ‘
taken according to Section No. 250.440 of the statute referred to above. This section
of the statute requires that witnesses be present when the sample is taken. Copies of
the statute may be obtained from the Department of Feed and Fertilizer.

 C OMME RCIAL FERTILIZER. IN KENTUCKY, FALL SEASON 1954 5
Z. Unofficial samples. - If an analysis is wanted for the purchaser's informa-
tion only, samples of fertilizer may be taken in the following manner:
Take portions (each about a handful) from l0 percent of the bags, unless this
requires portions from more than Z0 bags. If there are less than 10 bags, sample all.
Take samples from as far down in the bags as possible. Place all portions on a clean
» paper and mix well. Place about one quart in a tight container, mark the container
with name and address of the sender and send to the Department of Feed and Ferti-
lizer, Agricultural Experiment Station, University of Kentucky, Lexington Z9,
Kentucky.
State in a letter the amount of fertilizer on hand, the number of bags sampled,
and the reason for wanting analysis. lf analysis is materially below guaranty, a
representative of the Feed and Fertilizer Department may be sent to take an inspector's
sample.
FERTILIZER GUARANTY
The statute regulating the sale of commercial fertilizers in Kentucky was
amended at the 1952 session of the Kentucky Legislature. In accord with the amend-
ment to the statute, the official tag formerly issued by this Department to be attached
to each bagoffertilizei- is no lcuger required.
Before a manufacturer can sell fertilizer in Kentucky, he must register each
brand or grade he proposed to sell with the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station
in a manner prescribed by the Director. This registration is the guaranty of the
manufacturer. This information must be printed on each bag of fertilizer offered for
sale in Kentucky or on a label attached to each bag supplied by the manufacturer. The
information is as follows:
Brand name of fertilizer
Name and address of manufacturer
Guaranteed analysis showing:
Nitrogen, percent
Available phosphoric acid, percent
Potash, from muriate or sulfate, percent
 
Total phosphoric acid is guaranteed in bone, dried manures and basic slag.
Both total and available phosphoric acid are guaranteed in rock phosphate and in fused
tricalcium phosphate.
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING THE FERTILIZER LAW
Any manufacturer, firm, dealer, or vendor who sells or exposes for sale in
Kentucky commercial fertilizer without complying with the provisions of the fertilizer
law is subject to a fine of from $100.00 to $500, OO for each offense. Furthermore,
if a fertilizer is short in net weight or short in the essential plant-food nutrients, a

 6 REGULATORY BULLETIN 12l
manufacturer, firm or dealer may not only be fined $100.00 to $500. OO for violating
the fertilizer law, but "shall be liable for reasonable damages sustained by the pur-
chaser of such fertilizer."
It is important, therefore, that the dealer should protect himself by purchas— 7
ing from reliable firms who comply with the law. Otherwise, he will lay himself
liable for selling fertilizers in violation of the law.
DISTRIBUTION OF FERTILIZER. SALES IN KENTUCKY BY COUNTIES
A report showing sales of fertilizer by grades by counties is now available
for the six month period beginning July 1, 1954. These data were compiled from
copies of invoices supplied by shippers of fertilizer and are reported in a leaflet
entitled "Distribution of Fertilizer Sales in Kentucky, July l, 1954, through Decem-
ber 31, l954". Copies of this publication may be had by writing to the Department
of Feed and Fertilizer, Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station.

EXPLANATION OF "STANDING OF MANUFACTURERS"
The standings of manufacturers as determined by the results of analysis of
official samples are given on page 10 to page 17. Purchasers of fertilizer can
learn through a. study of this how well any manufacturer met his guarantee on the
samples analyzed.
It should be noted that the first 3 columns of figures refer to number of samples
and that the last 3 columns refer to number of analysis of nitrogen, phosphoric acidand
potash. Attention is directed to the third column of figures which gives for each manu-
facturer the percentage of samples which are equal to guaranty in all respects, and to
column 6, which gives the percentage of analyses which are equal to guarantee or with
the tolerance of 1/4 of l percent (the tolerance of the Kentucky Fertilizer Law.)
EXPLANATION OF TABLES 1, 2 & 3
In some samples a deficiency in one nutrient is accompanied by an overrun in
another nutrient. This is evidence of improper mixing or weighing by the manu-
facturer. Extreme variations of this kind cannot be attributed to separation of ma-
terials (segregation) though this may be a minor factor. Excess of one nutrient can-
not compensate for deficiency of another nutrient. The purchaser is entitled to re-
ceive the full guaranty in all nutrients as expressed by the manufacturer's guaranty.
The results of analyses of all inspection samples are given in Tables 1, 2
and 3. lf an analysis shows a deficiency of more than one-fourth of 1 percent below
the amount claimed for nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash, or if the relative value
is more than $1. 50 below the guaranty, the result is indicated in the tables by an
asterisk by the figures.
