A fertilizer shall be deemed deficient if the analysis of an official sample for any primary nutrient is below the guarantee by an amount exceeding the values in the table established in this section.Guaranteed percent | Total Nitrogen (N) percent* | Available Phosphate (P2O5) percent* | Soluble Potash (K2O) percent* |
05 or less | 0.37 | 0.65 | 0.39 |

*For these investigational allowances to be applicable, the procedures recommended by AOAC International for obtaining samples, preparation and analysis shall be used. These are described in the 15th Edition (1990) of the Official Methods of Analysis of the AOAC International. In evaluating replicate data, Table 19, page 935, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists, Volume 49, No. 5, October, 1966, shall be followed. | |||
Section 2.
A fertilizer shall be deemed deficient in the overall index value if the overall index value is less than ninety-seven (97) percent.(1)
The overall index value shall be calculated by comparing the value guaranteed with the value found. Unit values of the nutrients used shall be those referred to in KRS 250.401.(2)
Overall index value. Example of calculation for a 10-10-10 grade found to contain ten and one-tenth (10.1) percent Total Nitrogen (N), ten and two-tenths (10.2) percent Available Phosphate (P2O5) and ten and one-tenth (10.1) percent Soluble Potash (K2O). Nutrient unit values shall be assumed to be three (3) dollars per unit N, two (2) dollars per unit (P2O5), and one (1) dollar per unit K2O.10.0 units N | x3= | 10.0 |
10.0 units P2O5 | x2= | 20.0 |
10.0 units K2O | x1= | 10.0 |
Commercial Value Guaranteed = | 60.0 | |
10.0 units of N | x3= | 30.3 |
10.2 units of P2O5 | x2= | 20.4 |
10.1 units K2O | x1= | 10.1 |
Commercial Value Found = | 60.8 | |
Overall Index Value = 100(60.8/60.00) = 101.3% | ||
Section 3.
Secondary and minor elements shall be deemed deficient if the analysis of an official sample for any of these elements is below the guarantee by an amount exceeding the values in the table established in this section.Element | Investigational Allowance | |
Calcium | ) | 0.2 unit + 5% of guarantee |
Magnesium | ) | 0.2 unit + 5% of guarantee |
Sulfur | ) | 0.2 unit + 5% of guarantee |
