Daugherty on leave of absence since May l, 1959 This report compiled and prepared by W. J. Huffman and Bruce Poundstone Analytical data by the Laboratory Staff This bulletin contains results of analyses of official samples of commercial fertilizers made during the period January l through June 30, 1959. The form of ` Tables l, 2, 3, and 4 has been altered somewhat from previous publications to pro- vide a more readable presentation of the information. The name of the dealer from whom each sample was secured has been omitted from this table. Separate tables are provided for the results of analysis of dry fertilizer, liquid fertilizer, and for boron and pesticide incorporated in fertilizers. A separ- ate table is also provided to indicate the percent of potash equivalent to excess muriate where the guarantee for sulfate of potash was not met. See Table 5 for sul- fate analysis. · EXPLANATION OF TABLES , The information given should be useful to farmers, agricultural workers, and _ company representatives to determine how closely a given manufacturer is meeting the , chemical guarantee printed on the bag for all or specific fertilizers. This may be done by comparing the guarantee shown at the beginning of each listing of samples with the actual analysis in the columns at the right in terms of nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and potash. An additional means of comparing guarantees with the analysis of samples is in the percent of relative value found, shown in the extreme right-hand column. The following examples illustrate how this relative value is calculated: A 5-l0-15 sulfate fertilizer is guaranteed to contain 5 units of nitrogen, 10 units of available phosphoric acid, and 15 units of potash. Factors for computing the relative values of these plant foods are: l for potash, 2 for available phos- phoric acid and 3 for nitrogen. Thus the combined guaranteed value of the product represented is calculated: 5.0 Units of Nitrogen X 3 = 15.0 10.0 Units of Available Phosphoric Acid X 2 = 20.0 15.0 Units of Potash X 1 = 15.0 Total computed guaranteed value 50.0 The same procedure is followed for "found va1ues.“ Assuming a sample of 5-10-15 was found to contain 5.1 units of nitrogen, 10.2 units of available phos- phoric acid and 15.1 units of potash. The relative found value is computed. 5.1 Units of Nitrogen X 3 = 15.3 10.2 Units of Available Phosphoric Acid X 2 = 20.4 15.1 Units of Potash X l = 15.1 Total computed value 50.8 50.8 (computed value of sample) divided by 50.0 (computed guaranteed value) times 100 (to arrive at percentage) gives 101.6 as the percent of relative value found. In some samples a deficiency in one nutrient is accompanied by an over-run in another nutrient. This is evidence of improper mixing or weighing by the manufac- turer. Extreme variations of this kind cannot be attributed to separation of materials (segrq mnmn 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 guarantee of all nutrients as expressed by the manufacturer's guaranteed analysis. The results of analysis of all inspection samples are given in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4. If an analysis shows a deficiency of more than the tolerance, the amount claimed for nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash, or if the percent of the relative value is 97 or less, the result is indicated by an asterisk. 4 REGULATORY BULLETIN 158 COMPANIES REPRESEITED BY SAMPLES REPORTED II THIS BULLETIN A.

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 three columns of figures refer to number of samples and that the last three columns refer to number of analyses of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash. Attention is directed to the third column of figures which gives for each manufacturer, the percentage of samples that are equal to J-·.*’ guaranty in all respects, and to column 6, which gives the percentage of analyses that are equal to guaranty or within the tolerance. This tolerance is on a sliding scale varying with the guaranty as follows: Percent Guarantee in Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid or Potash Tolerance O- 9 0.2 10-19 0.3 20-25 0.4 26-34 0.5 35-39 0.6 40-49 0.7 50-59 0.8 60 or more 0.9 TONNAGE OF FERTILIZER SOLD The tonnage of fertilizer and fertilizer materials sold during the period covered by this bulletin was 483,000 tons. This is an increase of 12 percent over the 431,000 tons sold during the same period of 1958. There was an increase of 39,000 tons of mixed fertilizer and 11,000 tons of materials sold this spring. For the 10 year period, 1949-59, the greatest total tonnage for a spring period was sold in 1954. However, for actual plant food used, this period of 1959 exceeds all others. This increase in plant nutrients is due primarily to the acceptance by the consumer of high·analysis fertilizers and the use of "recom ended grades." _ COM ERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, SPRING SEASON 1959 7 Standing of Manufacturers, Based on Samples Equal to Guaranty in All Respects and Analyses within Tolerance Analyses of Sam·les nitro;en ·hos•horic acid and ·otash COMFANY Total Equal to guaranty Total Equal to guaranty or Number in all res»ects Number vithin tolerance Number Percent* Number Percent* A.
