 COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, 1955 3
This bulletin contains analyses of commercial fertilizers made between July 1 and
December 31, 1955. Analyses of samples made between January l, 1955 and June 30,
1955 were published in Regulatory Bulletin 124.
TONNAGE OF FERTILIZER SOLD
Manufacturers reported that 519, 143 tons of commercial fertilizer were sold in
Kentucky during 1955. This was 10.6% less than in 1954. 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 1955, 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 alsothose
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-O 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 corresponding higher analysis
grades recommended by the Agromony Department for field crops are shown below:
Ratio Miriimum Grades Higher Analysis Grades
O-1-l 0-].2-].2 O-14-14,0-20-20, 0-24-24
0-30-30
0-1-2 0-10-20
0-Z-1 0-14-7 · 0-16-8
1-1-1 8-8-8 10-10-10,12-1Z-12,14-14-14
1- 1-3 6-6- 18

 4 REGULATORY BULLETIN 128 _
Ratio Minimum Grade Higher Analysis Grades
l-2-2 5-10-10 6-12-12, 8-16-16
1-2-3 5-10-15 6-12-18
1-3-2 4-12-6 6-18-12
1-4-4 3-12-12 4-16-16, 5-Z0-Z0
Higher grades of any ratio also are both recommended and encouraged. None of
the recommended minimum grades of mixed fertilizer contain less than 20 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, 1-2-2, 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 l0 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. 5 combined units 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 propor-
tionate refund be made to all purchasers of the stock of fertilizer whose names can be
obtained from the dealer. If names of purchasers cannot be obtained, the refund may be
made to charity in the county where the fertilizer was sold.
FARMERS‘ SAMPLES
Anyone in Kentucky who buys a commercial fertilizer for his own use may submit
samples for free analysis to the Department of Feed and Fertilizer, Agricultural
Experiment Station, Lexington 29, Kentucky.
l. Samples taken according to provisions of K, R, S. No. 250, 360 through
N0. 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.
2, Unofficial samples, - If an analysis is wanted for the purchaser's information
only, samples of fertilizer may be taken in the following manner:

 COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, FALL SEASON 1955 5
Take portions (each about a handful) from 10 percent of the bags, unless this re-
quires portions from more than 20 bags. If there are less than I0 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 i.n a tight container, mark the container with
name and address of the sender and send to the Department of Feed and Fertilizer, Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, University of Kentucky, Lexington 29, Kentucky.
» State in a letter the amount of fertilizer on hand, the number of bags sample, and
the reason for wanting analysis. If analysis is materially below guaranty, a represent-
ative of the Feed and Fertilizer Department may be sent to take an inspector's sample.
FERTILIZER GUARATNY
The statute regulating the sale of commercial fertilizers in Kentucky was amended
at the 1952 session of the Kentucky Legislature. ln accord with the amendment to the
statute, the official tag formerly issued by this Department to be attached to each bag of
fertilizer is no longer 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 tri-
calcium phosphate.
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING THE FERTILIZER LAW
I 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 $500.00 for each offense. Furthermore,
if a fertilizer is short in net weight or short in the essential plant-food nutrients, a
manufacturer, firm or dealer may not only be fined $100. OO to $500. 00 for violating
the fertilizer law, but "sha1l be liable for reasonable damages sustained by the pur-
chaser of such fertilizer."
It is important, therefore, that the dealer should protect himself by purchasing
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
Reports showing sales of fertilizer by grades by counties are now available for
six month periods beginning July l, 1954. These data were compiled from copies of
invoices supplied by shippers of fertilizer. Copies 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 9 to 15_ 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 acid and
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 gurantee or with
the tolerance of 1/4 of 1 percent (the tolerance of the Kentucky Fertilizer Law).
EXPLANATION OF TABLES 1, Z 8: 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 manufactue ‘.
Extreme variations of this kind cannot be attributed to separation of materials (segre-
gation) 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 guaranty
in all nutrients as expressed by the manufactuer's guaranty.
The results of analyses of all inspection samples are given in Tables l, 2 and 3. .
If 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. 5 below the guaranty, the result is indicated in the tables by an asterisk by the
figures.
