Fluid Fertilizers PDF Download

It is hoped that this paper will bring to the reader's attention the fact that the mode of addition of micronutrient materials of fertilizers is a factor that can have a significant influence on both the physical and chemical properties of the mixture. It should become obvious that, in adding micronutrient materials, due consideration must be given to such factors as the chemical compatibility of the ingredients, the segregation characteristics of the mixture, solubility in liquid systems, and the uniformity and density of micronutrient distribution sites that will result from field application of the mixture. While the review of addition methods now in use included here should serve as a useful guide, it is hoped that the reader, on becoming aware of the problems, will be stimulated to contrive improvements and modifications in methods that will fit his own needs.
