D24—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 3,1980 Agent explains complete fertilizer NORRISTOWN - What is meant by a complete fer tilizer? What is it made of? What part do the different elements play? Such questions are always pop ping up, and there is much confusion about them. Montgomery County Agent, Paul Reber, explains that a complete fertilizer is one containing the three major plant foods, nitrogen, phosphorous, and potash. The mixture contains all of these plant foods in different percentages or rations, such as 8-8-8,5-10-5, or 4-106. The first number m each case represents nitrogen, the second phosphorous and the third, potash. Generally speaking, nitrogen is the most im portant element because it gives plants a dark green color, promotes leaf and steam growth, improves the quality of leafy crops and produces rapid early growth. It is also the most likely to leach out of soils by ram. This rate of loss depends on soil type.

Phosphorous (super-pho sphate) stimulates early root formation and growth, thereby giving plants a good start, hastens maturity of crops and is especially important in seed formation. Potash (muriate and sulphate) increases vigor and to some extent helps plants to resist certain diseases. It increases the plumpness of gram and seed and is essential in the for mation and movement of sugars and starches in the plant.
