COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS IN KENTUCKY, 1950
This bulletin contains analyses of official samples of commercial fertilizers made be-
tween July 1 and December 31, 1950. Analyses of samples made between January 1, 1950
and June 30, 1950 were published in Regulatory Bulletin 84.
Manufacturers reported that 554, 351 tons of commercial fertilizer were sold in Ken-
tucky in 1950. This was an increase of about 15 percent over the tonnage reported for 1949. .
In addition, 11, 872 tons of 20-percent superphosphate, or equivalent, were distributed in
Kentucky under the "Contractual Plan" by the Production and Marketing Administration,
- Field Segjvice Branch.

PLANT FOODS OR NUTRIENTS
The minimum percentages of guaranteed plant foods, or nutrients, present in a commer-
cial fertilizer are printed on the state tag 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 to be deficient. The element corresponding to phosphoric acid is phosphorus
and the element corresponding to potash is potassium. Boron may also be guaranteed.

 REGULATORY BULLETIN NO. 87
FERTILIZER GRADE {
Grade designates the minimuno percentage of nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and
potash in the fertilizer. A 6-8-6 grade means that the fertilizer contains 6 percent nitrogen,
8 percent available phosphoric acid, and 6 percent potash. The nutrients are always listed
in this order. A O-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 per-
cent potash. ,
NUMBER OF GRADES NEEDED IN KENTUCKY
'I
The Departments of Agronomy and Horticulture of the Kentucky Agricultural Experi-
ment Station consider that eleven ratios and minimum grades of mixed fertilizer, to- ,
gether with superphosphate, nitrogen, and potash salts will answer the present needs of
Kentucky agriculture.
A list of the nine ratios and minimum grades recommended by the Agronomy Depart-
ment for field crops is shown below:
Ratio Minimum grade Ratio Minimum grade
0-1-2 0-10-20 1-3-2 4-12-8  
0-1-1 0-12-12 1-2-2 5-10-10
0-2-1 0-14-7 3-4-4 _ 6-8-8 I
1-4-4 3-12-12 -i·2·-3 4-8-12
1-4-2 4-16-8
Two additional ratios and minimum grades, recommended by the Horticultural
Department for truck crops and ornamental plants, are; 1-2-1 ratio and 5-10-5
grade, and 6-3-3 ratio and 12-6-6 grade. `
The 6-3-3 ratio, 12-6-6 minimum grade was recommended by the agronomists of $
the Middle Western States February`l5 and 16, 1951, at the Chicago meeting, to take the
place of the 10-6-4 minimum grade heretofore recommended for ornamental plants.
The 3-4 -4 ratio, 6-8-8 minimum grade was recommended to take the place of the
1-1 -1 ratio, 8-8-8 minimum grade at the fertilizer meeting November 8 at Lexington
and again at the February, 1951, Chicago meeting.
Higher grades of any ratio also are both recommended and encouraged. None of
the recommended minimum grades of mixed fertilizer (except 5-10-5 for truck crops) '
contain less than 21 units of plant food. Low grade fertilizers are less economical be-
cause costs of mixing, bags, freight and other incidental costs are the same per bag re- ‘
gardless 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 the following cropping uses of the recommended
minimum grades: ·
For general field crops, meadows and pastures, 4-12-8, 4-16-8, 6-8-8, 3-12-12,
0-14-7, O-12-12 and O-10-20.
For tobacco, 6-8-8, 5-10-10, 4-8-12.
lt is further recommended that in fertilizers for tobacco three-fourths of the potash
be from sulfate and not over one-fourth from muriate.
Farmers interested in determining the appropriate fertilizer for a specific crop on
a given soil type and also the amount recommended should consult his County Agricultural
Agent or write the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station.

 COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS IN KENTUCKY, 1950
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. 00 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 can not be obtained the refund may
be made to a charity in the 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.
FARMERS' SAMPLES V
Anyone in Kentucky who buys commercial fertilizer for his own use may submit
samples for free analysis to the Departxnent of Feed and Fertilizer, Agricultural
Experiment Station, Lexington Z9, Kentucky.
l. Samples taken according to provisions of K. R. S. No. 250. 360 through N0.
250.480 lKentucky Fertilizer Lawl. — 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 informa-
tion only, samples of fertilizer may be taken in the following manner:
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 l0 bags, sample all.
Take samples from as far down in the bags as possible. Place all portions on a clean
lj paper and mix well. Place about one quart in a tight container, include a tag from
one of the bags, mark the container with name and address of the sender and send to
` the Department of Feed and Fertilizer, Agricultural Experiment Station, University
of Kentucky, Lexington 29, Kentucky.
State in a letter the amount of fertilizer on hand, the number of bags sampled, ,
and the reason for wanting analysis. If analysis is materially below guaranty, a
representative of the Feed and Fertilizer Department may be sent to take an inspec-
tor's sample.

 REGULATORY BULLETIN NO. 87
INFORMATION ON GUARANTY TAG ·
A state guaranty tag issued by the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, showing
the manufacturer‘s guaranty, must be attached to each bag of fertilizer before it can be
lawfully offered for sale in Kentucky. It is a violation of the law to change the tag in any
manner, either by addition or erasure. Purchasers of fertilizer should be guided by the in-
formation printed on the guaranty tag in selecting a fertilizer. lf the fertilizer is not tagged
with a state guaranty tag, or if the tag has been changed in any manner, it should be re-
ported to the Agricultural Experiment Station irnmediately. The following information is
printed on the guaranty tag:
Brand name of fertilizer V
Name and address of manufacturer '
Guaranteed analysis showing:
Minimum nitrogen percent
Minimum available phosphoric acid, percent
` Minimum potash, from muriate or sulfate, percent
Estimated value per 100 pounds
Total phosphoric acid, in place of available phosphoric acid, is guaranteed in bone,
dried manures, basic slag, and rock phosphate. Official fertilizer labels are required by
law to carry the estimated value index per 100 pounds. The estimated value index is used
for comparing values of fertilizers of different grades. An additional use of this value is
in determining the relationship of the guaranteed analysis and the actual analysis. This
relationship is shown in the last two columns of Tables 3, 4 and 5.
The estimated value index should not be confused with the selling price. Selling price
is determined by those offering the fertilizer for sale.
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. O0 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. 00 to $500. 00 for violating the fertilizer law, but
"shall be liable for reasonable darnages sustained by the purchaser of such fertilizer. "
lt 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. g
EXPLANATION OF TABLES Z, 3,, 4 and 5
The standings of manufacturers as determined by the results of analysis of official
V samples are given in Table Z. Purchasers of fertilizer can learn, through a study of this
table, how well any manufacturer met his guarantees on the samples analyzed.
lt should be noted that the first 3 columns of figures in Table 2 refer to number of
samples and that the last 3 columns refer to number of analyses of nitrogen, available
phosphoric acid and potash. Attention is directed to the third column of figures which
gives for each manufacturer the percentage of samples which are equal to guaranty in
all respects, and to column 6, which gives the percentage of analyses which were equal `
to guarantee or within the tolerance of 1/4 of 1 percent (the tolerance of the Kentucky
Fertilizer Law).
In some samples a deficiency in one nutrient is accompanied by an over··run in
another nutrient. This is evidence of irnproper mixing or weighing by the manufacturer.
Extreme variations of this kind cannot be attributed to separation of materials (segrega·
tion). 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 manufacturer on the tag.
The results of analyses of all inspection samples are given in Tables 3, 4 and 5.
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 4 percent
or more below the guaranty, the result is indicated in the tables by underlining the figures.
