Alabama farmers spend about 50 million dollars yearly on fertilizer. J C Lowery urges soil testing to tailor grades and amounts, boosting yields while cutting costs. Three main fertilizer grade groups exist, with even P K ratios most common, though actual usage trails needs. Five legged frog found in La Mesa pond donated to San Diego State College for study.
Lowery notes soils often need high potassium and low phosphate. Fertilizer grades 4 8 16 and 0 10 20 match this, yet only 2 percent of fertilizers used carried the P K ratio while 17 percent of soils needed it. Farmers can better tailor applications to crop needs.
