ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL FERTILIZER SAMPLES IN KENTUCKY JULY 1974 - JUNE 1975 7 4 INTRODUCTION V! This bulletin presents the results of analyses of 2,613 official samples of co mercial . fertilizer taken during the period July 1, 1974 through June 30, 1975 by the field inspection staff. These samples represented approximately 40,000 tons of fertilizer out of the approximately 890,000 tons sold during this period. The regulatory laboratory made 2,474 ‘!‘nitrogen, 2,409 phosphorus, 2,365 potassium, and about 900 chloride, secondary, and minor element analyses on these samples. The results of N, P205, and K20 analyses of samples of * mixed fertilizers and fertilizer materials are in Table 1. An indication of the variation ` eaof the N, P205, and KZO found among the samples from a specific grade of a specific manu- facturer is in Table 2. Table 3 contains the results of secondary and minor element analyses 5 and Table 4 is a listing of fertilizer registrants for Kentucky as of June 30, 1975. ‘! EXPLANATION OF TABLES TABLE 1. ` Every official sample taken during the year is listed in this table. A comparsion of *the "GRAOE" with the laboratory analysis for nitrogen (N), available phosphoric acid (APA), and potash (POT) will show how closely the manufacturer met his chemical guarantee. An ·' additional way of comparing guaranteed with the found analysis is with the relative value shown in the column headed RV. The following example illustrates how this relative value is calculated. , A 5-10-15 fertilizer is guaranteed to contain 5% N, 10% PZOS, and 15% K20. A "Guaranteed 'tValue" and a "Found Value" are computed for this fertilizer by assigning arbitrary values to the individual nutrients as follows: 2 for N, 2 for PZOS, and 1 for KZO. Thus, the l "Guaranteed Value" of the 5-l0-15 is calculated as follows: Element Guaranteed, % Factor Value N 5.0 X 2 = 10.0 P205 10.0 X 2 = 20.0 K20 15.0 X l = llulu Total "Guaranteed Value" = 45.0 The same procedure is followed for the "Found Value", thus: Element Found, % Factor Value N 5.1 X 2 = 10.2 , P205 10.2 X 2 = 20.4 K20 15.1 X 1 = lall Total "Found Value" = 45.7 The relative value (RV) is then computed by dividing the "Found Value" by the "Guaranteed Value" and multiplying by 100: RV = (45.7/45) X 100 = 101.6% Those results marked with an asterisk (*) are deficient under the criteria stated in ,he Inspection and Analytical Tolerance sectioni Occasionally an analysis may be found 8 REGULATORY BULLETIN 220 ¤ that appears to be inconsistent in its marking. For example, two samples that are guaranteed V l0% PZOS (APA) may both be shown as containing 9.3%. One of these may have an asterisk (*) R and the other not. There are two situations which may cause this apparent difference: ¤“* (l) The tolerances are calculated by computer and applied to the laboratory analyses l before the data are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent and printed. In the above example, the laboratory found 9.27% for one sample and 9.33% for the other. Only the first A7 one would be marked (*) as deficient. (2) The grade as printed is the largest whole number in the guarantee of each ingredient; For example, a custom-mixed lot of fertilizer may be guaranteed ll.9% P205 and ll.2% KZO. The _ grade would be written O-ll-ll. However, the tolerances are calculated on the ll.9% and ll.2§‘ guarantees. If this custom mixed fertilizer analyzed ll.0% P205 and lO.9% KZO, the ll.0% A P205 would be marked (*) because this analysis is below the ll.9% guarantee by more than the tolerance. E The column headed "NUM" lists the laboratory number of the particular sample. In the column headed "XS CL", an asterisk (*) indicates that the chlorine content of the sample ` exceeded the maximum chlorine guarantee of the field crop tobacco fertilizer. ’A. TABLE 2. . The data in this table show the average analysis (AA) and coefficient of variation (CV) for certain grades and the average percentage of guarantee (% of GUAR.) and appropriate CV for all grades sampled for certain companies. An entry was made in this table for a company when one grade was sampled 5 or more times or l0 or more total samples were obtained. Please note that the criteria for an entry in Table 2 has been changed slightly. iz Previously an entry was made for a company when one grade was sampled 2 or more times and lO or more total samples were obtained. The coefficient of variation is proposed as a useful means for describing variation among samples. The method for doing this will be found in textbooks on statistics and will be illustrated for l0 analyses of a material guaranteed to contain 5% nitrogen: · First, the formula for computing the coefficient of variation (CV): CV = (S/M) X lO0 where S = standard deviation ‘ M = average found analysis S = / Z x2 - gZx)2/n Y n - l where X = an individual found analytical result n = number of analyses _ E3 means "Sum of ....... " ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL FERTILIZER SAMPLES IN KENTUCKY JULY 1974 — JUNE 1975 9 *5 Now in our examp1e n = 10 and 1ets assume that the 10 X's are 5.6, 5.5, 5.4, 5.7, 5.5, A 5.8, 5.0, 6.0, 5.5, and 5.3. ` 7K M = (5.6 + 5.5 + + 5.3)/10 = 5.53 ( Ex? = 5.52 + 5.52 + + 5.92 = 206.49; (gx)? = 2059.09 n S = y(306.49 - 3058.09/10)/9 = 0.275 `* CV = (0.275/5.53) X 100 = 5% Q If, in this examp1e, there had been Tess variation or "scatter", the resu1ting percentage £*_ (CV) wou1d have been sma11er. If there had been more variation, it wou1d have been 1arger. The CV varies directly with the range in va1ues of anaiyses and inverse1y with the average ana1ysis. No matter how much care is exerted in a ferti1izer p1ant, an occasiona1 "wi1d" batch U? may appear and subsequent1y be samp1ed. Such batches are caused by unusua1 circumstances such as putting the wrong ferti1izer in bags 1abe1ed for another grade or 1arge errors · in mixing or manipu1ation in the factory that cannot be said to represent usua1 procedure. Q Computations that inc1ude such samp1es wou1d on1y throw the coefficient of variation as we11 as the average ana1ysis comp1ete1y out of 1ine. They are judged to be so abnorma1 ~ that they have not been inc1uded in these statistica1 determinations. There were 11 samp1es reported in Tab1e 1 that were exc1uded from the CV computations reported in Tab1e 2. As E a basis for exc1uding these samp1es, the fo11owing ru1es were genera11y fo11owed. 1. Throw out any samp1es more than 120% or Tess than 80% in re1ative va1ue except: I a. Those within j_20% of the average samp1e va1ue, or ’* . b. when the variation of a11 the samp1e va1ues is such that the questionab1e samp1e appears to fit a norma1 distribution pattern. ` 2. Throw out any samp1e whose ratio of ingredients differs strong1y from the ba1ance of samp1es of that grade. These may inc1ude samp1es: a. whose ratio strong1y suggests an entire1y different grade of ferti1izer, or b. where two or more of its ingredients are higher or 1ower by 20% or more of the extreme va1ues of the remaining norma1 samp1es. TABLE 3 and 4. (Se1f Exp1antory) INSPECTION AND ANALYTICAL TOLERANCE A to1erance is a11owed for variations that may occur in samp1ing and chemica1 ana1ysis. It does not, nor is it intended to a11ow for variation in the manufacturing process. The manufacturer shou1d compensate for variabi1ity in manufacturing techniques and materiais when ca1cu1ating the formu1a for a given ana1ysis. ‘ The fo11owing formu1a was used to identify those samp1es of mixed ferti1izers which were considered to be deficient in N, P2O5, and K20: IF "FOUND" 5; "GUARANTEE" - "TOLERANCE" THEN "FOUND IS DEFICIENT" where: "TOLERANCE" = "GUARANTEE" X 0.03 + 0.4 In words this is: If the "FOUND" ana1ysis is 1ess than or egua1 to the "GUARANTEED" _ ana1ysis minus the "TOLERANCE" then the "FOUND" ana1ysis is deemed deficient. The "TOLERANCE" l0 REGULATORY BULLETIN 220 ii was equal to 3% of the "GUARANTEE" plus 0.4. For example, the tolerance on a 12% guarantee is 12 X 0.03 + 0.4 = 0.76. Any found value of 11.24% or less was declared deficient (12 - K 0.76 = 11.24%). The relative value (RV) was considered deficient when it was more than 2.5% _, below 100%. Specifically, if the RV was less than 97.5% it was considered deficient. if- Fertilizers sold for use on field crop tobacco must carry a maximum chlorine guarantee ; which can be no more than 1.5%. Samples were considered excessive in chlorine (XS CL) if they analyzed more than 0.5 above the maximum guaranteed percentage. #7 A product was considered deficient in calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), boron (B), and iron (Fe) if the sample analyzed less than or equal to 0.9 X "GUARANTEE"; and, ` deficient in copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn) if the sample &; analyzed less than or equal to 0.8 X "GUARANTEE". The product was considered misbranded "M" if the sample analyzed as much or more than 2 X "GUARANTEE" for all these elements. In some samples a deficiency in one nutrient was accompanied by an overrun in another. _ This may be evidence of improper mixing or weighing by the manufacturer. Extreme variations ‘ of this kind, however, cannot be wholly attributed to separation of materials (segregation) after the product is mixed although this may be a factor. Excess of one nutrient will not be allowed to compensate for a deficiency of another. The purchaser is entitled to receive *` the full guarantee for all nutrients as expressed by the manufacturer's guaranteed analysis. _ Q 2 ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL FERTILIZER SAMPLES IN KENTUCKY JULY 1974 — JUNE T975 `|`I *9 TABLE T.
