Weather Factors Important to Fertilizer Use
Iowa State University economist Bob Wisner reports fertilizer use grew in 1968 at a slower pace than prior years with weather shaping actual consumption. US figures show national fertilizer use up about three percent for the year ending June 30, 1968, after bigger gains earlier. Prices for nitrogen fertilizers fell, while phosphate and potash moved steadier amid rising production capacity and potential future supplies. Weather is expected to influence whether upcoming price increases hold.
