 COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN KENTUCKY, FALL SEASON 1959 3
A This bulletin contains results of analyses of 825 official samples of commericial
fertilizers made during the period July 1 through December 31, 1959. The form of tables
1, 2, 3, and A has been altered somewhat from previous publications to provide a more
readable presentation of the information. The name of the dealer from whom each sample
was secured has been omitted from these tables.
Separate tables are provided for the results of analysis of dry fertilizer, liquid
fertilizer, and for boron and pesticide incorporated in fertilizers. Table A shows the
amount of fertilizer used in Kentucky from 1918 to 1959.
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 5-10-15 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 re-
presented is calculated:
5.0 Units of Nitrogen X 3 = 15.0
V 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 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 : l5_3
10.2 Units of Available Phosphoric Acid X 2 = 20.b
15.1 Units of Potash X 1 = 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 manufacturer.
Extreme variations of this kind cannot be attributed to separation of materials
;Z (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 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 159
TONNAGE OF FERTILIZER SOLD
The tonnage of fertilizer sold in 1959 was over 602,000 tons. This represents an
increase of about 68,000 tons over 1958. This increase in total tonnage was due to the
increased sale of about 51,000 tons of mixed fertilizer and 17,000 tons of fertilizer
materials.
NUM ER 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 nine ratios and minimum grades and corresponding higher analysis grades
recommended for field crops are shown below.
Ratio Minimum Grade Higher Analysis Grade
0-1-1 0-20-20 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 10-30-20 \
l-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 are both recommended and encouraged. None of the recom-
mended minimum 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 econo-
mically.
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.
EXPLANATION OF "STANDINGS OF MANUFACTURERS"
The standings of manufacturers as determined by the results of analysis of official
samples are given on pages 5 and 6. Purchasers of fertilizer can learn through a study
of this how well any manufacturer met his guarantee on the samples analyzed.
It should be noticed 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, phos- A
phoric 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 guaranty in all
respects, and to column 6, which gives the percentage of analyses that are equal to guar-
anty or within the tolerance. This tolerance is on a sliding scale varying with the
guarantee as follows: _
Percent Guarantee in Nitrogen,
Phosphoric Acid or Potash Tolerance
0- 9 O.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 4
