INSPECTION   OF  COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS 

Made    for    the 
State   Department   of   Agriculture 

The  inspection  of  commercial  fertilizers  reported  in  this  bulletin  was 
made  under  the  direction  of  the  Honorable  Perley  I.  Fitts,  Commissioner  of 
Agriculture.  Mr.  George  H.  Laramie,  Fertilizer  Control  Supervisor,  and  Mr. 
Harold  W.  Ayer,  Inspector,  collected  samples  of  114  brands  of  mixed  fertilizer 
and  fertilizer  materials  which  were  offered  for  sale  by  dealers  or  had  been 
delivered  to  consumers  during  the  year  ending  June,  1951.  The  general 
character  of  the  brands  sampled  is  shown  by  the  following  classification : 

Complete  fertilizer  68 

Phosphoric  acid  and  potash  10 

Superphosphate    9 

Nitrate  of  soda  2 

Ammonium  nitrate  2 

Ammonium  sulphate   1 

Muriate  of  potash  5 

Ground   bone    6 

Natural  manures   8 

Tankage    1 

Urea    1 

Cyanamide    1 

THE   FERTILIZER   LAW 

The  chief  purpose  of  the  official  inspection  required  by  the  fertilizer  law 
is  to  protect  the  consumer  against  the  misbranded  products  which  doubtless 
would  soon  appear  on  the  market  if  the  sale  of  the  fertilizer  was  not  under  state 
regulation.  The  purchaser  of  fertilizer  or  fertilizer  materials  should  acquaint 
himself  with  the  full  text  of  the  law.  He  should  not  accept  from  the  dealer 
any  bag  of  fertilizer  which  is  not  tagged  and  guaranteed  in  compliance  with  the 
law.      If  he  does  so,  it  is  at  his  own  risk. 

The  law  governing  the  guarantees  and  labeling  of  commercial  fertilizers 
or  fertilizer  materials  follows: 

"Every  lot  or  parcel  of  commercial  fei'tilizer  or  fertilizer  material  sold  or 
offered  or  exposed  for  sale  within  this  state  shall  be  accompanied  by  a  plainly 
printed  statement,  clearly  and  truly  certifying  the  number  of  net  pounds  of  fer- 
tilizer in  the  package ;  the  name,  brand  or  trademark  under  which  the  fertilizer  is 
sold;  the  name  and  address  of  the  manufacturer  or  importer;  the  location  of  the 
factory;  and  a  chemical  analysis  stating  the  minimum  percentage  of  nitrogen,  of 
available  phosphoric  acid  and  of  water-soluble  potash  expressed  in  whole  numbers. 

"No  fertilizer  or  fertilizer  material  containing  the  three  essential  fertilizing 
elements,  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  may  be  sold  or  offered  for  sale 
if  the  total  minimum  plant  food  nutrients  contained  therein  is  less  than  fourteen 
per  cent  by  weight,  provided  however  that  natural  animal  and  bird  manures 
shall  be  excepted  from  the  provisions  of  this  section." 

Copies  of  the  full  text  of  the  law  may  be  obtained  from  the  Fertilizer  Con- 
trol   Supervisor,    State   House,    Concord,    N.    H.      Inquiries    concerning   the    law 


and  all  matters  relative  to  the  registration  of  brands  should  be  addressed  to 
his  office. 

The  value  of  a  fertilizer  depends  mainly  upon  its  content  of  available  plant 
food,  particularly  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid,  and  potash.  To  correct  certain  soil 
conditions,  other  plant  nutrients  are  included  in  fertilizers  for  specific  crops. 
Magnesium  and  boron  are  two  so-called  minor  elements  or  plant  foods  furnished 
by  some  brands  of  fertilizers  for  specific  cases.  Whether  or  not  a  fertilizer 
contains  the  guaranteed  amount  of  plant  food  can  be  determined  only  by  a 
chemical  analysis.  For  this  reason  it  is  considered  necessary  that  each  brand 
of  fertilizer  offered  for  sale  be  officially  sampled  and  analyzed  each  year.  When 
failure  to  meet  the  guarantee  is  proved  by  chemical  analysis,  the  prosecution 
or  seizure  provisions  of  the  law^  may  be  invoked.  The  purchaser's  refusal  to 
buy  a  fertilizer  which  does  not  conform  to  the  law  will  not  only  assist  in  the 
enforcement  of  the  law  but  will  at  the  same  time  insure  him  the  protection  of  the 
law. 


USE  OF  COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS 

It  is  not  within  the  scope  of  this  bulletin  to  make  recommendations  regarding 
the  use  of  commercial  fertilizers.  The  Department  of  Agronomy  and  the 
Department  of  Agricultural  and  Biological  Chemistry  of  the  University  of  New 
Hampshire  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  test  soils  and  conduct  experimental 
work  with  various  fertilizer  materials  on  hay  and  crop  land.  The  Department  of 
Horticulture  investigates  fertilizer  treatments  for  fruits  and  vegetables.  Much 
of  this  work  has  been  published,  and  is  available  for  free  distribution  to  residents 
of  New  Hampshire.  Address  your  request  to  Mail  Service,  University  of  New 
Hampshire,  Durham,  New  Hampshire.

14   lb.  of 

common  nitrogen  carrier  for 

each  year  of 

age  of  tree, 

up  to  10  lbs., 

or  V2  that  amount  of  am- 

monium

*  In  addition  to  manure. 


1.  Safe  application  on  soil  suited  for  clover. 

2.  To  be  used  where  grazing  can  be  controlled. 

3.  Boron  in  form  of  borax  on  fruit  trees,  %  lb.  per  tree  every  three  years. 

4.  30-35  lbs.  of  borax  per  acre  prior  to  seeding  alfalfa  is  advisable. 


A.  The  above  recommendations  are  designed  for  a  guide  for  use  of  commercial 
fertilizers  only. 

B.  Use  all  the  manure   every  year.     IT   IS   A   VALUABLE   FERTILIZER. 

C.  Fortify  manure  with  superphosphate  at  the  rate  of  at  least  1  lb.  per  animal 
per  day. 

D.  Hen  manure  should  be  used  at  one-half  the  rate  of  cow  manure. 

E.  Manure  weighs  approximately  45  lbs.  per  cubic  foot. 


CONFORMITY  TO   GUARANTEE 

The  chemical  analyses  reported  in  this  bulletin  were  made  by  the  methods 
adopted  by  the  Association  of  Official  Agricultural  Chemists. 

Number  of  brands  analyzed  114 

Equalling  or  exceeding  all  guarantees  64 

Deficient  in  nitrogen  only   17 

Deficient  in  available  phosphoric  acid  only  14 

Deficient  in  potash  only  10 

Deficient  in  nitrogen  and  phosphoric  acid    2 

Deficient  in  nitrogen  and  potash    4 

Deficient  in  phosphoric  acid  and  potash   2 

Deficient  in  nitrogen,   phosphoric   acid,   and  potash    ....  1 

Thirteen  brands  were  guaranteed  to  contain  magnesium  oxide.  None  failed 
to  meet  the  guarantee.  In  general,  the  overrun  in  plant  food  guarantees  exceeds 
the  deficiencies  when  all  brands  of  a  manufacturer  are  included. 

Fertilizers  are  largely  mixtures  of  highly  purified  chemicals.  Segregation 
of  these  materials  in  the  bag  may  be  expected.  To  obtain  a  truly  representative 
sample  of  a  fertilizer  mixture  requires  careful  work.  The  chemist  can  accurately 
determine  the  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid,  and  potash  content  of  the  sample  sent 
to  the  laboratory.  If  this  sample  does  not  correctly  represent  the  larger  lot,  the 
analytical  work  is  of  no  use.  The  obligation  of  the  fertilizer  control  program  is 
to  see  that  the  manufacturer  is  supplying  the  guaranteed  amount  of  plant  food 
to  the  consumer.  For  this  reason  the  sample-  must  be  drawn  and  analyzed  very 
carefully  so  that  injustice  will  not  be  done  to  either  the  consumer  or  manu- 
facturer. 

In  the  tabulation  of  the  analyses  in  the  following  pages,  deficiencies  of 
one-half  of  one  per  cent  or  more  are  shown  in  red  ink.  The  names  of  the 
manufacturers  are  arranged  alphabetically.  The  brand  names  are  listed 
alphabetically,  or  numerically  by  formula,  under  the  manufacturer.
