Hello, I have a query, as you mentioned in the video we don't need to calculate N value as it is already in N form, but, what if I have a fertilizer which has nitrogen in Nitrate (NO3-) or Ammonia (NH3) form, do I need to convert the N value then by the same method you have shown in this video?
, I just have a question : In case I have NPK 20:20:20 and I want to use it in the foliar spray application by 200 ppm how much NPK I have to take and dissolved in 1 Liter? Regards
Hello thank you for this question. You will need 200 milligram of 20-20-20 to achieve a ppm of 200 in a litre of water. Also, another easy way to do this is to get yourself an Ec meter that also measures in ppm. Pour your known one liter of water in a container, put the meter into the water, add the 20-20-20 to the water until the meter is showing 200ppm. Use a proper measuring utensil when adding the 20-20-20 so you can know what amount you added to the 1 litre of water.
Wow! This is really good to know, but how does a person know the proper ratio of these macro nutrients for the various plants? For example, if I wanted to use this kind of inorganic fertilizer how would I know whether to buy a bag with those numbers versus another type that might have, say, 10-12-14 or some other combination? Is this a standard combination for most plants, trees, etc?
Hello, these are very important question that I will need to speak on in a video so that it can be beneficial to others also. However, I will give you a general understanding of the questions you ask. 1. How does a person know the proper ratio of these macro nutrients for the various plants? One thing you must know as a rule of thumb, is that; all plants use macro nutrients however, some plants use more macronutrients than others. There are a few things that must be considered that will influence or guide you in selecting the right fertilizer grade. Some considerations are: knowing the nutrient status of your soil, therefore, get a soil analysis done- which will tell you the relative amount of the different nutrients that is in the soil. Another consideration is knowing the specific nutrient demand of the crop you are growing- plants utilize certain nutrients more than others at different stages. For example if you are growing leafy vegetables, you will chose a fertilizer grade that has a high percentage of the macro-nutrient NITROGEN. Therefore, higher first number on the fertilizer bag would be preferred. Another consideration is soil texture- some soils are more prown to heavy percolation or leaching than others which means more fertilizer might be needed. Another consideration is; the stage of plant growth and development. A plant will demand more resources in the generative phase than in some parts of vegetative phase. These are some of the basic considerations that should influence the fertilizer grade you buy. However, continue to tune in to my channel because I will be discussing all the essential nutrients and you will be able to know which nutrient should be used at what stage of plant growth and development which can ultimately guide the fertilizer grade you buy at various stages of plant growth. 2. If I wanted to use this kind of inorganic fertilizer how would I know whether to buy a bag with those numbers versus another type that might have, say, 10-12-14 or some other combination? The numbers represent the relative amount of NPK within the bag; therefore, based on the demands of the crop you are growing and the results of your soil analysis; you can determine if a certain grade will fulfill the requirements of the plant and what the soil test reveals. Therefore, if your soil has enough nitrogen; then using a 10-12-14 might not be a good idea because you would be adding more nitrogen which can cause other complications to the plant. 3. Is this a standard combination for most plants, trees, etc? The NPK combination is a standard combination but the amount of each nutrient varies across the plant families and also influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors; that is why fertilizer companies have to make many different grade combinations. Well, I think I have answered all of your questions and I hope I am not overwhelming you with too much information. If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask away, stay safe.
@@MCAgriTech Thank you, and no, you did not overwhelm me at all; it was quite clear. I am looking forward to the other videos, and ask you and yours to stay safe too.
12 61 0 ( mono ammonium phosphate ) contains 61% p205 that means 268 gm phosphorus present in 1 kg but if we calculate through formula (Nh4)3po4 208 gm phosphorus present in 1 kg 12:61:0
Hello, I think Mono Ammonium Phosphate has 1 atom of Phosphorus while Ammonium Phosphate has 3 atoms of Phosphorous. So, the calculation would yield different answers. Research this and let me know what you find out, thank you.
Hello sir just wanna ask, what if they give me a fertilizer Grade that is 5-10-5, and then it is not present on the ag supply, how is that? What should I do? Sorry for inconvenience but I need your help, thank you in advance. Hope you'll notice....
@@MCAgriTech MY question sir is, how can I make NPK from straight fertilizer, they recommend me to use 9-2-2 NPK using straight fertilizer but I don't know how to do it.... It is for experimental purpose sir, I just wanna know how to get it step by step, thank you sir...
@@renelambino8668 Hello, here is some information that will guide you through the process: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.pinoyrice.com/%3Fwpdmdl%3D708&ved=2ahUKEwjit7Ol2cjvAhXqFFkFHaFnDFIQFjAAegQIBBAC&usg=AOvVaw24S7faLLO6p33oge9-auFR&cshid=1616580954694
Hello, thank you for the feedback. Please note that the form of fertilizer in reference is, Granular. You can use straight fertilizers such as Ammonium nitrate to supply nitrogen; Triple super-phosphate to supply phosphorous and Muriate of potash to supply potassium. Ammonium nitrate has a percentile grade of 34-0-0; Triple super-phosphate is 0-46-0 and Muriate of potash or MAP is 0-0-60. These can be used to formulate the 14-14-14 NPK fertilizer. 1 Lbs of Ammonium nitrate, 0.8 Lbs of Triple super-phosphate and 0.6 Lbs of Muriate of potash will give you a 14-14-14 NPK blend. I hope this was helpful. Please let me know if this helped you to formulate your 14-14-14 NPK fertilizer, thank you.
@@MCAgriTech Thank you Sir . If I want to make 100 Lbs 14-14-14 NPK fertilizer from straight fertilizer then how much indevidual fertilizer & filler material is needed ?
