Introduction
World demand for increased food, feed, and fiber production necessitates us of fertilizers.
![Page 3: III. Fertilizers: Utilization and Types](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816685550346895dda2ed8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Fertilizers
Fertilizers are materials occurring naturally or commercially produced for application to soil for the purpose of adding one or more deficient nutrients

Fertilizers
Research says that optimum ferts use increase yields world wide by 50%
![Page 5: III. Fertilizers: Utilization and Types](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816685550346895dda2ed8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Fertilizer History
Farmers used ferts lavishly before 1974.After 74, fuel and energy cost
skyrocketed!Farmers needed more money, so they
selected soil and crops that used ferts the best.
But bottom line, fert does not cost, it pay!
![Page 6: III. Fertilizers: Utilization and Types](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816685550346895dda2ed8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Fertilizer Trends and Economics
Dry bagged fert use decreased with the increase use of dry-mix and liquid fert.
![Page 7: III. Fertilizers: Utilization and Types](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816685550346895dda2ed8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Fertilizer Trends and Economics
Ferts cost represent about 20% of all crop productions
Producers expect a corresponding increase in yield of 50%
This is a return of two to three dollars for every dollar spent
![Page 8: III. Fertilizers: Utilization and Types](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816685550346895dda2ed8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Fert is Profitable When:
1. Based on a soil test2. Added in an
efficient manner3. Soil is managed
![Page 9: III. Fertilizers: Utilization and Types](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816685550346895dda2ed8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Fert is Unprofitable When:
1. Soil moisture is limited
2. Pest and adverse temps are a problem
3. Increased yield has less market value than cost of ferts.

Fertilizer Efficiency
Point of Diminishing ReturnPoint at which cost of applying additional fert is unprofitable in terms of increased production

Determining Fertilizer Needs
Amount and Type depends on:– 1. Amount removed by previous crop– 2. Amount lost by leaching and other
processes– 3. Amount and type of nutrients available in
soil– 4. Climatic conditons– 5. Requirements of present crop– 6. Crop quality desired
![Page 12: III. Fertilizers: Utilization and Types](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816685550346895dda2ed8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Determining Fertilizer Needs
Just do a soil test analysis! Idiot!
