 COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, FALL SEASON 1956 3
This bulletin contains analyses of commercial fertilizers made between July
land December 31, 1956. Analyses of samples made between January 1, 1956 and
June 30, 1956 were published in Regulatory Bulletin 133.
TONNAGE OF FERTILIZER SOLD
Manufacturers reported that more than 531, 000 tons of commercial fertilizer
were sold in Kentucky during 1956. This was 6% more than in 1955.
The tonnage of commercial fertilizer sold during 1956, as reported by man-
ufacturers, 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 potass-
ium. 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 con-
tains 5 percent nitrogen, 10 percent available phosphoric acid, and 15 percent pot-
ash. The nutrients 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 Departments of Agronomy and Horticulture of the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station consider 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 Agronomy Department for field crops are shown below:
Ratio Minimum Grades 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
0-2-1 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
1-2-2 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, 5-20-20

 4 REGULATORY BULLETIN 135
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 distri-
buted more economically.
The Agronomy Department suggests grades in the following ratios for tobacco: ‘
l-2-3, l—2-2, l-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 more than 0. B I
units of nitrogen, l. O units of available phosphoric acid or l. 5 units of potash, or
the combined relative value index shows the product deficient more than $2.00 per
ton, the manufacturer of the fertilizer and the dealer from whom the sample was
obtained are given a special notice. I
It is suggested to the manufacturer that a proportionate 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 in the
county where the fertilizer was sold.
lf the shipment has not been sold at the time the notice is received, it must
be either relabeled so as to show the correct analysis or returned to the manufact- .
urer for reworking. A deficiency in one element as outlined above may not be off-
set by an overage in another element in determing whether or not a refund, re-
labeling or reworking is required.
FARMERS' 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 Z9, 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
ofthe statute requires that witnesses be present when the sample is taken. Copies of
the statute may be obtained from thc Department of Feed and Fertilizer.
Z. Unofficial samples. - lf 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 20 bags. lf there are less than 10 bags, sample
all. Take samples from as far down in the bags as possible. Place all portions on
.i 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
Fertilizer, Agricultural Experiment Station, University of Kentucky, Lexington 29,
KcnZut’kx’.

 . COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, FALL SEASON 1956 5
State in a letter the amount of fertilizer on hand, the number of bags sampled,
and the reason for wanting analysis. Ifanalysis is materially below guaranty, a
representative of the Feed and Fertilizer Department may be sent to take an inspec-
tor'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 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
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 cornplying with the provisions ofthe ferti-
lizer law is subject to a fine of from $100.00 to $500. OO for each offense. Further-
more, if a fertilizer is short in net weight or short in the essential plant—food nu-
trients, a manufacturer, firm or dealer may not only be fined $100. O0 to $500. OO
for violating the fertilizer law, but "shall be liable for reasonable damages sus-
tained by the purchaser of such fertilizer. "
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 1, 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 pages lOand ll.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
manufacturer, 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 within the tolerance of l/4 of 1 percent (the tolerance of the Kentucky Fertilizer
Law).
EXPLANATION OF TABLES l, Z. & 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 manufact-
urer. Extreme variations of this kind cannot be attributed to separation of materials
(segregation) though this may be a minor factor. Excess of one nutrient cannot com-
pensate for deficiency of another nutrient. The purchaser is entitled to receive 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 I percent below the
amount claimed for nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash, orif the percent of the `
relative value is 98 or less, the result is indicated in the tables by an asterisk by
the figures.
