You are provided with a compound fertilizer, 40-15-10. Calculate the quantity of fertilizer to add to a one hectare field to supply a. Nitrogen at 120 kg/ha (2 marks) b. Nitrogen at 90 kg/ha (2 marks) c. Phosphorus (P 2 O 5 ) at rate of 60 kg/ha (2 marks) d. Potassium (K 2 O) at rate of 60 kg/ha

The correct answer is a) 300 Kg b) 225 Kg c) 400 Kg and d) 600 Kg.

Explanation:

Based on the given value, that is. 40-15-10 shows the compositions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium found in the compound fertilizer in the form of percentage.  

41 percent nitrogen is equal to 40/100 = 0.4, 15 percent phosphorus is equal to 15/100 = 0.15, and 10 percent potassium is equal to 10/100 = 0.1.  

To find the amount of fertilizer, which is needed per hectare to supply the different nutrients per hectare, there is a need to divide the quantity to be supplied by the percentage composition, now the values comes out as:  

a) At 120 Kg per ha, the required nitrogen will be 120/0.4 = 300 Kilogram of fertilizer.  

b) At 90 kg per ha, the required nitrogen will be 90/0.4 = 225 Kilograms of fertilizer.  

c) At 60 kg per ha, the required phosphorus will be 60/0.15 = 400 Kilograms of fertilizer.  

d) At 60 Kg per ha, the required potassium will be 60/0.1 = 600 Kilograms of fertilizer.  

the answer is c i believe

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
