Neco 2023 Agricultural Science Question 19
Practice objective / multiple choice question 19 from the 2023 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
A soil test indicates the following available nutrients per hectare: nitrogen (N) 20 kg, phosphorus (P) 10 kg, and potassium (K) 15 kg. The target maize yield is 8 t ha\(^{-1}\). The nutrient removal rates for maize are 20 kg N t\(^{-1}\), 5 kg P t\(^{-1}\), and 15 kg K t\(^{-1}\). Assuming that only 50 % of the applied fertilizer becomes available to the crop, calculate the amount of N, P and K (in kg ha\(^{-1}\)) that must be applied as fertilizer to meet the target yield.
