 _ COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, FALL SEASON 1960 3
I This bulletin contains results of analyses of 655 official samples of commercial
fertilizers made during the period July 1 through December 31, 1960.
Separate tables are provided for the results of analysis of dry mixed fertilizers,
liquid mixed fertilizers, straight materials and boron. Table A shows the amount of
fertilizer used in Kentucky from 1918 to 1960.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
_ The information given should be useful to farmers, agricultural workers, and
company representatives in determining how closely a given manufacturer or plant 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 analyses of samples is in
the percent of relative value found, shown in the extreme right-hand colu n. The
following examples illustrate how this relative value is calculated:
A 5-10-15 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: 3 for nitrogen, 2 for available phos-
phoric acid and 1 for potash. 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 l = 15.0
Total computed guaranteed value 50.0
The same procedure is followed for "found values." Assuming a sample of 5-10-15
was found to contain 5.1 units of nitrogen, 10.2 units of available phosphoric 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 1 = 15.1
Total computed value 50.8
50.8 (computed found 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.
V. In some samples a deficiency in one nutrient is accompanied by an over-run in
another nutrient. This may be evidence of improper mixing or weighing by the manu-
facturer. Extreme variations of this kind cannot be attributed to separation of
materials (segregation) after the product is bagged 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 guarantee of all nutrients as expressed by
the manufacturer's guaranteed analysis.
The results of analyses of all inspection samples are given in tables 1, 2, 3, 4
and 5. 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 167
TONNAGE OF FERTILIZER SOLD
The tonnage of fertilizer sold in 1960 was over 563,978 tons. This represents a
decrease of about 38,000 tons from 1959. This decrease in total tonnage was due to a
decreased sale of about 30,000 tons of mixed fertilizer and 8,000 tons of fertilizer
materials.
NUMBER OF GRADES NEEDED IN KENTUCKY
The Departments of Agronomy and Horticulture of the Kentucky Agricultural Ex-
periment Station consider that ten 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 ten ratios and minimum grades and corresponding higher analysis grades,
except 4-16-4, recom ended for field crops are shown below.
Ratio Minimum Grade Higher Analysis Grade
0-1-1 O-20-20 0-24-24, 0-30-30
0-1-2 0-10-20 0-12-24, 0-15-30, 0-20-40
1-1-1 10-10-10 12-12-12, 14-14-14
1-1-3 6- 6-18 8- 8-24
1-2-2 5-10-10 6-12-12, 8-16-16, 10-20-20
1-2-3 5-10-15 6-12-18, 9-18-27
1-3-2 4-12- 8 5-15-10, 6-18-12
1-4-1 4-16- 4 For Plant Beds Only
1-4-4 4-16-16 5-20-20, 6-24-24
1-3-0 8-24- 0 9-27- 0,10-30- 0
Higher grades of any ratio, except 4-16-4, are both recommended and encouraged.
None of the recommended minimu  grades of mixed fertilizer contain less than 24 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 10A from this Station.
INFORMATION IS GIVEN FOR SAMPLES WHERE TH  WORDS "SEE NOTE" IS SHOWN AS FOLLOWS: A
