 6 REGULATORY BULLETIN 188
This bulletin contains results of analyses of 3,980 official samples (
of commercial fertilizer made during the period January 1 through June 30,
1965.
Separate tables are provided for the results of analyses of dry ferti- ‘
lizers, liquid fertilizers, organics, unacidualted phosphatic materials, '
and boron analyses.
EXPLANATION OF TABLES
The information given in the following tables should be useful in deter- _
mining how nearly a manufacturer is meeting the chemical guarantee printed
on the bag or tag for the fertilizer represented by the samples listed. This
may be done by comparing the guarantee shown at the beginning of each listing
of samples with the actual analysis in the column 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 column RV. The · _
following examples illustrate how this relative value is calculated: Y `
A 5-10-15 sulfate fertilizer is guaranteed to contain 5 units of nitrogen,
10 units of available phsophoric acid and 15 units of potash. Factors for
computing the relative value of these plant foods are: 3 for nitrogen, 2 for
available phosphoric 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 5.0 units of nitrogen, 10.2 units of available
phosphoric acid and l5.l 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
l5.l Units of Potash x l = 15.1 c
Total computed value 50.8 `
50.8 (computed found value of sample) divided by 50.0 (computed guar- `
anteed value) times 100 (to arrive at percentage) gives 101.6 as the percent
of relative value found.
The analyses indicated by an astarisk are deficient more than the
tolerance. Occasionally an analysis may be found that appears to be in-
consistent in its marking. For example, two samples that are guaranteed _
10% available phosphoric acid may both be found to contain 9.7%. One of
these may have an asterisk and the other not. There are two factors that
may cause this difference.
1. These tolerances are calculated by an electronic computer and applied
to the laboratory analyses before these data are rounded off to the nearest
tenth of a percent. In the above example, the laboratory found 9.66% for
one sample and 9.74% for the other. The first one would be starred as de- `
ficient.

2. The grade is written by using the largest whole number in the guarantee
of each ingredient. For example, a custom-mixed lot of fertilizer may be
guaranteed O.-11.9-11.2. The grade would be written 0-11-11. However,
_ the tolerances are calculated on the 11.9% and 11.2% guarantees.
If this fertilizer analyzed 11.3% A.P.A. and 10.9% potash, the 11.3%
A.P.A. would be starred because this analysis is 0.6% units below the 11.9%
guarantee.
The use of a high speed computer to make these calculations enables us
‘ to apply these tolerances more precisely than has been possible before.
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 manufacturer. 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 defi-
' ciency of another nutrient. The purchaser is entitled to receive the full
· . guarantee for all nutrients as expressed by the manufacturer's guaranteed
analysis.
EXPLANATION OF CERTAIN COLUM S
The letters NIT after a grade means that the product is or that it
contains Nitrate of Potash. The W/B after a grade indicates that the sample
contained boron (see table 5 for boron analyses). The column headed "Num"
lists the laboratory number of the particular sample. The column headed
"XS CL", an asterisk indicates the sample did not meet the guarantee for
sulfate of potash. The RV column shows the percent of relative value found.
