fERTILZER INTERPRETATION
In far:’, magazines, bulletins, or any nub- :
lications dealing nith commercial fertil- !
izers, ’-e see the terms F.P. and K. ref
erred to as a matter of fact. Host of t
you kn-or rhat- they mean, horever, for ref-j
erence, ~e rill reneat the'ir meanings.
N represents Hitrogen, ?; Phosphorus, and
I", nOjtassium. They are also referred to ■
as I* ammonia, III4 ammonium, ITCp nitrite,:
arid .G^ nitrate, "rhich are the chemical
radicals for nitrogen carrying comounds.
PpC'5 is usually the phosphate combination j
and "p0 the potassium chemical combina
t ion.
I
Also in articles deal inf rith commercial
fertilizers re see ratios expressed as;
5-10-10, 1C-15-5, 2-1-3, or 300 founds
of 5-10-10 ner acre, etc. 'Tot let's in- :
ternret then in v;hat ■ you buy at your deal 4
er. The above figures refer' to the ratio!
of available tT. ?. T., in order of this
sequence used in fertilizer rccomenda
tions, ’’’or an examnle *-e ^ill use the
first illustration of 5-10-10. This
nears that 5 rounds available nitrogen,
10 rounds of available uhosnhate, 10
pounds of available noiassiuri are used
rer acre of round,
' I
This brings us p to the mnortant roir.t
v.hich ’“as heretofore .mentioned.. Alvays
in buying fertilizer, the first thing to
consider is the chemical analysis, ho
fertilizer is chemically cure and they
l
always haye a certain arovy.t of carrie
rhich consists of sand, silt, as' , sla
or "hat have you. The freight r'te on
this carrier is the sane a? on t' e avail
able fertiliser content, consequently,
the hif her the analysis, the better the
fertiliser. The analysis on strai;h't
comerci'l fertilisers vary fron around
18$ for a lor to 50'" for a hi "her avail
able cherical content. Tis reans you
are raying. freight on 40 to 88 rounds of
carrier, as sand, silt, slag, and etc.
rhich Alaska has rlenty to snare.
There are. methods of figuring fertilizer
requirements, and ‘ r. ~ :.rker Lester of
the Extension Office has printed a nam
phlet orf the subject. Once you firure
out "hat you need you can buy the amounts
of ntro~en, "'hos'korus and "otassnu::
a- d min them rith local sar.d, silt, etc,
thus saving on freight.
