If not, you should. The price paid for fertilizer should be related to its plant-nutrient con tent .All fertilizers do not con tain the same amount of plant nutrients. Be sure to look at the analysis on the fertilizer bag in comparing fertilizers. The grade or analysis of the fertilizer shows the percentage of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P205), and potash (K20) For example, a 5-t0-i0 contains 5 nitrogen, 10 phosphate, and 10 potash. Compare this with an 8-8-8, which contains 8 of the three major plant nutrients. This analysis is guaranteed by the fertilizer man ufacturer. Which fertilizer are you going to use? This should depend on the crop you are planting and the Dlant-nutrient level in the soil. Crops vary in their requirements for nitrogen, phosphate, and pot ash. The amounts of these nu trients already available in the soil vary, also.
