9 Key steps to obtaining a proper fertilizer recommendation Take a good soil sample, (publicationa2100) Use a Wisconsin Certified Laboratory Take the appropriate nutrient credits for manure or previous legume crops Follow the guidelines listed on the report
10 What is Needed?
11 P 2 O 5 & K 2 O or P & K Grades for P and K are expressed as oxides, rather than on elemental basis Fertilizer recommendations are also given on oxide basis lbs P 2 O 5 / acre lbs K 2 O / acre P and K in fertilizer not actual present as P 2 O 5 or K 2 O Plants do not actually use P 2 O 5 or K 2 O Oxide forms are used only to indicate amounts of P and K in fertilizer
12 Nutrient Forms Elemental Name Elemental Symbol Oxide Name Oxide Symbol Plants Use Phosphorus P Phosphate P 2 O 5 H 2 PO 4 - Potassium K Potash K 2 O K +
13 Can I just apply ? NO Certain decisions and calculations must be done first Crop, soil, source and price considerations Make the best choice after considering the whole picture
14 Fertilizer Types Mixed Fertilizer contains more than one of the three major nutrients (ie ) Complete Fertilizer contains all three of the major nutrients (ie ) Straight Fertilizer contains only one of the three major nutrients (ie )
15 Fertilizer Grades Useful in determining application rates Minimum guaranteed amounts of available N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O in fertilizer N P 2 O 5 K 2 O Calculated on a % of total weight basis
16 What is Needed?
17 Example N P 2 O 5 K 2 O 150 lbs N/a 150 lbs N x 100 lbs urea/45 lbs N = 333 lbs urea (45-0-0) Or 150 lbs N x 100 lbs ammonium sulfate/21 lbs N = 714 lbs ammonium sulfate ( )
18 Material considerations Cost per pound of nutrients for urea Example urea at $200/ton, Contains.45 lbs N/lb urea x 2000 = 900 lbs N $200/900 lbs N = $0.22/lb N Cost per pound of nutrients for AMS Example ammonium sulfate at $200/ton Contains.21 lbs N/lab AMS x 2000 = 420 lbs N $200/420 lbs N = $0.48/lb N
19 Other considerations Availability NH 4 vs. NO 3 Additional nutrients Sulfur in AMS
20 Example N P 2 O 5 K 2 O 10 lbs P 2 O 5 /a 10 lbs P 2 O 5 x 100 lbs TSP/46 lbs P 2 O 5 = 22 lbs triple super phosphate (0-46-0) Or 10 lbs P 2 O 5 x 100 lbs ( )/23 lbs P 2 O 5 = 43 lbs fertilizer
21 Example N P 2 O 5 K 2 O 55 lbs K 2 O/a 55 lbs K 2 O x 100 lbs potash (KCl)/60 lbs 55 lbs K 2 O = 92 lbs potash (0-0-60) Or 55 lbs K 2 O x 100 lbs potassium sulfate /50 lbs 55 lbs K 2 O = 110 lbs fertilizer (0-0-50)
22 Fertilizer Ratio Relative proportion of N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O in a fertilizer Grade Ratio :4: :2: :1:1
23 Conversions between elemental and oxide forms 1 lb of P 2 O 5 = 0.44 lbs P 1 lb of P = 2.29 lbs P 2 O 5 1 lb of K 2 O = 0.83 lbs K 1 lb of K = 1.20 lbs of K 2 O
24 Nutrient amounts in liquid fertilizers Calculation of nutrient content of liquid fertilizers requires information on weight per gallon of the liquid fertilizer Material Weight (lbs/gal)
25 Nutrient amounts in liquid fertilizers 10.7 lbs x 28lbs N/100 lbs. Material = 3.0 lbs N per gallon of Therefore, if you need to apply 50 lbs of N per acre, how many gallons should you apply 50lbs N x one gallon/3.0 lbs = 16.7 gallons per acre
26 Summary Know what nutrients are needed and in what amount of N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 0 Consider soil type, additional crop nutrient needs, price and availability Make the best choice of ready mixed product or order custom blended material
27 1. Calculate the pounds of N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O in 1 ton (2000 lbs) of means there is 9 lbs of N, 18 lbs of P 2 O 5 and 30 lbs of K 2 O in every 100 lbs of material Since there is 20 x 100 lbs in a ton Multiply 9 x 20 = 180 lbs of N 18 x 20 = 360 lbs of P 2 O 5 30 x 20 = 600 lbs of K 2 O
28 2. Which is a cheaper source of N? $245/ton or $160/ton contains: 82 x 20 = 1640 units of N for $245/ton $ units contains: = 14.9 / unit of N 46 x 20 = 920 units of N for $160/ton $ units = 17.4 / unit of N
29 3. Sven of Sven and Ole s super nifty fertilizer company, says that 3 gal/a of his liquid fish emulsion (3-2-3) is equivalent to 6 gal/a of a liquid fertilizer from the local coop. The fish emulsion weight 8.7 lb/gal and the weighs 10.8 lb/gal How much N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O would be applied per acre with each material?
30 3. How much N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O would be applied per acre with each material? Fish emulsion: 3 gal x N = 26.1 lbs x 26.1 lbs = lbs N P 2 O lbs x 26.1 lbs = lbs P 2 O 5 K 2 O x 26.1 lbs = lbs K 2 O Liquid fertilizer: 6 gal x N 3 lbs N 100 lbs 2 lbs P 2 O 5 3 lbs K 2 O 100 lbs 7 lbs N 100 lbs 21 lbs P 2 O lb gal 10.8 lb gal = 64.8 lbs x 64.8 lbs = 4.53 lbs N P 2 O lbs x 64.8 lbs = lbs P 2 O 5 K 2 O x 64.8 lbs = 4.53 lbs K 2 O 7 lbs K 2 O 100 lbs
31 4. If a fertilizer recommendation for corn calls for 160 lb N/a, 50 lb P 2 O 5 /a, and 50 lb K 2 O/a, how many pounds of the following fertilizer materials will be needed to supply the recommended amounts of nutrients on a per acre basis?
32 4. Recommendation lb N/a, 50 lb P 2 O 5 /a, and 50 lb K 2 O/a lbs N 0.46 N 50 lbs P 2 O P 2 O 5 50 lbs K 2 O 0.50 K 2 O = 348 lbs of = 109 lbs of = 100 lbs of
33 5. If 600 lb of , 800 lb of , and 600 lb of are mixed, what is the grade of the resulting fertilizer blend? 600 x 0.34 = 204 units of N 800 x 0.18 = 144 units of N total units of N 800 x 0.46 = 368 units of P 2 O x 0.60 = 360 units of K 2 O
34 5. If 600 lb of , 800 lb of , and 600 lb of are mixed, what is the grade of the resulting fertilizer blend? 348 units N, 368 units P 2 O 5, 360 units K 2 O 2000 lbs 20 =
