Idaho Fertilizer Use Stays Roughly Flat From 1956 to 1957
Charles Painter of the Idaho extension service says farmers used about the same amount of fertilizer in 1957 as in 1956. State figures show 90 453 tons used in 1957 versus 112 000 tons in 1956, with possible undercounting. Ammonium nitrate leads nitrogen carriers and liquid forms rise to about 32 percent. Ammonium phosphate gains and triple superphosphate remains main phosphorus carrier. Idaho farmers spent roughly eight to nine million dollars on commercial fertilizer for crop production.
