Therefore, pure KCl is 39.09/(39.09 + 35.45) = 52% potassium and 48% chlorine by weight. Its K value is therefore 52/0.83 = 63; that is, a fertilizer that gets all its potassium from K 2 O and has the same potassium contents as pure KCl would have to be 63% K 2 O. Pure KCl fertilizer would thus be labeled 0-0-63.
In agriculture, the yield is a measurement of the amount of a crop grown, or product such as wool, meat or milk produced, per unit area of land. The seed ratio is another way of calculating yields. Innovations, such as the use of fertilizer, the creation of better farming tools, new methods of farming and improved crop varieties, have improved ...
The annual average fertiliser requirement in Nepal to replenish the soil nutrition is 310 kg per hectare but only 29 kg of fertiliser is added to the soil. [1] Fifty per cent of nutrient loss from the soil occurs during the early monsoon. [2] The use of fertiliser is relatively new to Nepal.
The diagram below shows fertilizer consumption by the European Union (EU) countries as kilograms per hectare (pounds per acre). The total consumption of fertilizer in the EU is 15.9 million tons for 105 million hectare arable land area [51] (or 107 million hectare arable land according to another estimate [52]). This figure equates to 151 kg of ...
A 15-ton crop of onions uses up to 19 lb of sulfur and 4 tons of alfalfa uses 15 lb per acre. Sulfur abundance varies with depth. In a sample of soils in Ohio, United States, the sulfur abundance varied with depths, 0–6 inches, 6–12 inches, 12–18 inches, 18–24 inches in the amounts: 1056, 830, 686, 528 lb per acre respectively.

This practice allows the farmer to vary the rate of fertilizer across the field according to the need identified by GPS guided Grid or Zone Sampling. Fertilizer that would have been spread in areas that don't need it can be placed in areas that do, thereby optimizing its use. Around the world, precision agriculture developed at a varying pace.
Stocking measures account for three things: the cover type and species mixture in the stand, the basal area per acre, and the number of trees per acre. [3] Stocking allows for comparing stands that may have diverse ecology. [4] Stocking is a major part of forest management, both in commercial applications and for restoration or preservation.
Does LP admit a polynomial-time algorithm in the real number (unit cost) model of computation? This closely related set of problems has been cited by Stephen Smale as among the 18 greatest unsolved problems of the 21st century. In Smale's words, the third version of the problem "is the main unsolved problem of linear programming theory."
