Neco Model Questions Vol1 2019 Agricultural Science Question 48
Practice objective / multiple choice question 48 from the 2019 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer has 10\,ha of maize. Soil tests show available nutrients of N = 60\,kg/ha, P_2O_5 = 20\,kg/ha and K_2O = 30\,kg/ha. Optimum levels are N = 120\,kg/ha, P_2O_5 = 60\,kg/ha and K_2O = 80\,kg/ha. The farmer can apply a blended fertilizer containing 30\% N, 20\% P_2O_5 and 10\% K_2O (by weight) but can afford at most 200\,kg of this fertilizer per hectare. Can the farmer meet all three nutrient targets with this limit? If not, state which nutrient(s) will be deficient and by how much (kg/ha).
