INSPECTION  OF  COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS 

Made  for  the 
STATE  DEPARTMENT  OF  AGRICULTURE 

This  bulletin  reports  the  analysis  of  173  official  samples  of  commercial  fer- 
tilizers and  fertilizer  materials  submitted  for  analysis  during  the  year  ending 
June  30,  1957. 

The  inspection  of  commercial  fertilizers  was  made  under  the  direction  of 
the  Honorable  Perley  I.  Fitts,  Commissioner  of  Agriculture.  The  samples  were 
collected  by  Mr.  George  H.  Laramie,  Fertilizer  Control  Supervisor. 

Ail  questions  relating  to  the  New  Hampshire  Fertilizer  Law  and  the  registra- 
tion of  fertilizers  or  fertilizer  materials  prior  to  sale  in  the  state,  should  be 
directed  to  the  attention  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  Supervisor,  State  House, 
Concord,  New  Hampshire.  This  laboratory  is  responsible  for  the  analysis  only 
of  official  samples  as  submitted. 

The  general  character  of  the  fertilizer  and  fertilizer  materials  sampled  is 
shown  by  the  following  classification. 

Complete  fertilizer  108 

(Of  these,  35  also  carried  a  total  Magnesium  Oxide  guar- 
antee and  12  specified  water-soluble  Magnesium  Oxide.) 

Phosphoric  acid  and  potash  22 

(Of  these,  6  carried  a  boron  guarantee  in  addition.)

THE  FERTILIZER  LAW 

All  persons  concerned  with  the  manufacture,  distribution  or  use  of  com- 
mercial fertilizers  should  acquaint  themselves  with  the  New  Hampshire  Com- 
mercial Fertilizer  Law.  A  booklet  titled  "New  Hampshire  Fertilizer  Law  and 
Rules  and  Regulations,"  may  be  obtained  by  writing  the  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  State  House,  Concord,  New  Hampshire. 

Quotation  from  the  law  concerning  registration,  guarantee  and  labeling  of 
Commercial  Fertilizers  in  New  Hampshire  follows : 

Sec.  4:  Registration.  (a)  Each  brand  and  grade  of  commercial  fer- 
tilizer shall  be  registered  before  being  offered  for  sale,  sold  or  distributed  in  this 
state.  The  application  for  registration  shall  be  submitted  to  the  commissioner 
on  forms  furnished  by  the  commissioner,  and  shall  be  accompanied  by  a  fee,  per 
brand,  as  follows:  ten  dollars  for  the  phosphoric  acid,  ten  dollars  for  the  nitro- 
gen, ten  dollars  for  the  potash,  and  ten  dollars  for  the  magnesium  oxide,  or 
other  plant  food  elements,  compounds  or  classes  of  compounds;  contained  or 
claimed  to  be  in  the  said  brand  of  fertilizer;  but  the  fee  for  any  brand  shall  not 
exceed  twenty-five  dollars.  All  registrations  expire  on  or  before  Janary  1, 
annually.  The  application  shall  include  the  following  information  in  the  follow- 
ing order:  (1)  The  name  and  address  of  the  person  guaranteeing  the  fertilizer. 
(2)  The  brand  and  grade.  (3)  The  guaranteed  analysis  showing  the  minimum 
percentage  of  plant  food  claimed  in  the  following  order  and  form:  Total  nitro- 
gen    per  cent;  available  phosphoric  acid  per  cent;  soluble  potash 

per  cent;  unacidulated  mineral  phosphatic  materials  and  basic  slag  shall 

be  guaranteed  as  to  both  total  and  available  phosphoric  acid,  and  the  degree  of 
fineness.     In  the  case  of  bone,  tankage,  and  other  natural  organic  phosphate 


materials,  only  the  total  phosphoric  acid  need  be  guaranteed.  Additional  plant 
food  elements,  determinable  by  chemical  methods,  may  be  guaranteed  only  by 
permission  of  the  commissioner  by  and  with  the  advice  of  the  director  of  the 
agi'icultural  experiment  station.  When  any  such  additional  plant  foods  are 
claimed,  they  shall  be  included  in  the  guarantee,  and  shall  be  subject  to  inspec- 
tion and  analysis  in  accordance  with  the  methods  and  regulations  that  may  be 
prescribed  by  the  commissioner. 

(b)  A  distributor  shall  not  be  required  to  register  any  brand  of  commercial 
fertilizer  which  is  already  registered  hereunder  by  another  person. 

(c)  The  plant  food  content  of  each  and  every  brand  of  commercial  fer- 
tilizer must  remain  uniform  for  the  period  of  registration. 

Sec.  5:  Labeling,  (a)  Any  commercial  fertilizer  offered  for  sale  or  sold 
or  distributed  in  this  state  in  bags,  barrels,  or  other  containers  shall  have  placed 
on  or  affixed  to  the  container  in  written  or  printed  form  the  net  weight  and  the 
information  required.  (1),  (2)  and  (3)  of  paragraph  (a)  of  section  4  either 
(1)  on  tags  affixed  to  the  end  of  the  package  between  the  ears  and/or  on  the 
sewed  end  or  (2)  directly  on  the  package,  (b)  If  distributed  in  bulk,  a  written 
or  printed  statement  of  the  weight  and  the  information  required  by  (1),  (2) 
and  (3)  of  paragraph  (a)  of  section  4  shall  accompany  delivery  and  be  supplied 
to  the  purchaser. 

Penalty  provisions  —  The  Law  provides  for  the  levying  of  a  penalty  amount- 
ing to  three  times  the  commercial  value  of  the  constituent  found  deficient  when 
deficiencies  exceeding  allowed  tolerances  are  found.  The  following  table  of 
tolerances  as  adopted  by  the  State  Department  of  Agriculture  is  quoted  from 
the  Rules  and  Regulations  of  that  Department.

The  chief  purpose  of  the  official  inspection  of  fertilizers  is  to  protect  the 
consumer  against  misbranded  products  that  probably  would  soon  appear  on  the 
market  if  the  sale  of  fertilizer  was  not  under  state  regulation.  If  the  consumer 
accepts  fertilizer  not  labeled  in  compliance  with  the  law,  he  does  so  at  his  own 
risk.  He  should  acquaint  himself  with  the  requirements  of  the  law  concerning 
labeling  and  be  familiar  with  the  terms  and  symbols  used  on  the  label. 

A  commercial  fertilizer  generally  supplies  one  or  more  of  three  elements: 
nitrogen,  phosphorus  and  potassium;  which  are  commonly  required  in  relatively 
large  amounts  for  plant  growth.  The  percentage  of  each  of  these  three  materials 
is  usually  represented  by  numerals  in  designating  the  grade  of  a  fertilizer. 
These  percentages  are  presently  expressed  in  terms  of  nitrogen,  phosphorus 
pentoxide  and  potash  and  the  symbols  used  are  N,  PjO.-,  and  K-0  respectively. 
The  term  phosphoric  acid  is  commonly  used  when  referring  to  the  phosphorus 
content. 

Under  certain  conditions,  other  elements  such  as  magnesium,  boron  and 
other  so-called  minor  elements  are  needed  to  correct  soil  deficiencies  in  certain 
localities.     These  may  be  included  in  the  mixed  fertilizer. 

Much  advertising  of  fertilizer  materials  packed  in  small  packages  is  directed 
to  the  attention  of  the  home  gardener  and  growers  of  house  plants.  This  small 
package  serves  a  definite  need,  however  the  "miracle"  results  claimed  may  not 
always  be  obtained.  In  general,  it  is  more  economical  for  the  gardener  to  pur- 
chase fertilizer  of  a  reliable  brand  and  in  reasonably  large  packages. 

All  control  officials  charged  with  the  enforcement  of  state  laws  regulating 
the  sale  of  commercial  fertilizers  and  fertilizer  materials  are  joined  in  the  Asso- 
ciation of  American  Fertilizer  Control  Officials.  Research  workers  employed  by 
State  or  Federal  Agencies  engaged  in  the  investigation  of  fertilizers  are  also 
members  of  this  Association.     The  object  of  this  organization  is  to  "promote 


uniform  and  effective  legislation,  definitions,  rulings,  and  enforcement  of  laws 
relating  to  the  control  of  sale  and  distribution  of  mixed  fertilizers  and  fertilizer 
materials  in  the  Continent  of  North  America.  At  the  annual  meetings  of  the 
Association,  reports  and  recommendations  of  investigators  concerning  definitions 
of  fertilizer  materials,  use  of  new  products,  and  problems  concerning  regulation 
of  the  fertilizer  trade  are  discussed  in  detail.  Fertilizer  manufacturers  are  in- 
vited to  participate  in  these  discussions  and  through  mutual  co-operation,  the 
farmer  is  supplied  with  a  product  that  can  be  relied  upon  to  do  the  job  expected 
in  crop  production.  The  official  publication  of  the  Association  may  be  obtained 
for  a  small  fee  through  the  office  of  its  secretary,  B.  D.  Cloaninger,  Clemson, 
South  Carolina.  This  booklet  contains  the  official  terms  describing  fertilizer 
materials,  a  proposed  model  state  fertilizer  law,  as  well  as  the  proceedings  of  the 
annual  meeting. 

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. 

Control  oflficials  are  giving  the  matter  of  excessive  ash  in  sheep  and  cattle 
manure  samples  their  attention.  Total  ash  was  determined  in  each  of  the  17 
samples  of  dried  manure  drawn  this  year.  The  percent  ash  found  varied  from 
11.9  Vc  to  74. 0*;/.  Eleven  of  the  samples  had  excessive  ash  content.  Excessive 
ash  content  is  indicated  when  the  amount  is  over  30 Vr  and  adulteration  with 
sand  or  "dirt"  is  likely.  Even  with  high  ash  content  the  guarantees  are  usually 
met  because  the  amount  of  plant  food  in  manures  is  relatively  small.  The  point 
is  that  manures  are  bought  to  supply  a  considerable  amount  of  organic  matter. 
A  high  ash  content  indicates  a  relatively  low  organic  matter  content.  This  prob- 
lem is  being  given  special  attention  by  New  England  control  officials  and  it  is 
expected  that  some  specific  recommendations  will  be  presented  before  the  Asso- 
ciation of  Fertilizer  Control  Officials  in  the  near  future. 

USE  OF  COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS 

It  is  not  within  the  scope  of  this  department  to  make  recommendations  re- 
garding 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.  A  list  of  currently  available  pub- 
lications on  fertilization  follows:

CONFORMITY  OF  GUARANTEE 

The  chemical  analyses  reported  in  this  bulletin  were  made  by  the  methods 
adopted  by  the  Association  of  Official  Agricultural  Chemists.  The  following  list 
indicates  the  number  of  samples  equaling  or  failing  to  meet  guarantee : 

Number  of  samples  analyzed  173 

Equalling  or  exceeding  all  guarantees  96 

Deficient  in  nitrogen  only  39 

(9   subject  to  penalty) 
Deficient  in  phosphoric  acid  only 11 

(2  subject  to  penalty) 
Deficient  in  potash  10 

(6  subject  to  penalty) 
Deficient  in  nitrogen  and  phosphoric  acid  5 

(2  subject  to  penalty  in  both) 

(1  subject  to  penalty  in  nitrogen) 

(2   subject  to  penalty  in   phosphoric   acid) 
Deficient  in  nitrogen  and  potash  5 

(1   subject  to  penalty  in  both) 

(2   subject  to  penalty  in   potash) 

Deficient  in  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  3 

Deficient  in  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  4 

(1   subject  to  penalty  in  nitrogen  and  potash) 

(1   subject  to  penalty  in  potash) 

Thirty-five  samples  were  guaranteed  to  contain  magnesium  oxide.  Of  these, 
twelve  indicated  the  guarantee  in  terms  of  water  soluble  magnesium  oxide.  In 
these  cases  total  magnesium  oxide  was  not  determined.  With  the  exception  of 
two  brands  that  were  found  slightly  deficient  all  met  the  magnesium  oxide  guar- 
antee. 

Penalties  were  assessed  on  27  different  lots  of  fertilizers  representing  11 
grades.  Three  grades,  0-15-30,  8-16-16,  and  10-10-10  were  involved  in  17  of 
the  lots  assessed.  The  others  were  scattering,  one  or  two  only  of  a  particular 
grade.  The  penalty  clause  was  invoked  in  fourteen  cases  for  nitrogen,  six  cases 
for  phosphoric  acid  and  eleven  cases  for  potash  shortages.  These  cases  are  noted 
in  the  table  of  analyses  by  bold  type  and  by  underline.  The  manufacturers  are 
listed  alphabetically  and  the  brand  names  by  formula  and  alphabetically  under 
the  name  of  the  manufacturer. 

There  are  far  too  many  small  deficiencies  as  shown  by  the  fact  that  only  96 
out  of  173  samples  met  all  guarantees.  This  problem  is  of  serious  concern  and 
considerable  co-operative  work  is  underway  to  solve  the  problem.  Fertilizers 
are  largely  mixtures  of  chemicals.  Segregation  of  these  materials  in  the  bag  is 
difficult  to  prevent.  Modern  methods  of  fertilizer  manufacture  are  doing  much 
to  process  the  fertilizer  in  such  a  way  that  segregation  will  be  avoided.  The 
solution  of  this  problem  is  difficult.  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  analy- 
tical 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  care- 
fully so  that  injustice  will  not  be  done  to  either  the  consumer  or  manufacturer.

COMMERCIAL  VALUE  OF  FERTILIZERS 

Section  10  of  the  New  Hampshire  Fertilizer  Law  of  1955,  states  "For  the 
purpose  of  determining  the  commercial  values  to  be  applied  under  the  provisions 
of  Section  7,  the  Commission  shall  determine  and  publish  annually,  the  values 
per  pound  of  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  in  commercial  fertilizers  in 
this  state.  The  values  so  determined  and  published  shall  be  used  in  determining 
and  assessing  penalties." 

After  consulting  the  fertilizer  manufacturers  selling  the  major  tonnage  of 
fertilizer  in  New  Hampshire,  the  Commissioner  established  and  the  Agricultural 
Advisory  Board  approved  on  March  18,  1957,  the  following  commercial  values 
per  pound  of  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash: 

$3.00  per  Unit  or  15(f  per  pound  of  Nitrogen. 

$2.00  per  Unit  or  10^  per  pound  of  Phosphoric  Acid. 

$1.20  per  Unit  or     6<f  per  pound  of  Potash.
