Neco Model Questions Vol1 2018 Agricultural Science Question 44
Practice objective / multiple choice question 44 from the 2018 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
Soil test results for a \(5\)-ha field (plough layer \(15\) cm, bulk density \(1.3\) g cm⁻³) show available nutrients: N = \(12\) mg kg⁻¹, P = \(8\) mg kg⁻¹, K = \(150\) mg kg⁻¹. The target levels are N = \(20\) mg kg⁻¹, P = \(15\) mg kg⁻¹, K = \(200\) mg kg⁻¹. Fertiliser sources are urea (46 % N), single superphosphate (20 % P₂O₅, where P = 0.44 P₂O₅), and muriate of potash (60 % K₂O, where K = 0.83 K₂O). Assuming each nutrient is supplied solely by its respective fertiliser, calculate the amount (kg) of urea, single superphosphate and muriate of potash required, and give the total fertiliser weight to be applied.
