Answer:
a. 300 Kg of fertilizer
b. 225 Kg of fertilizer
c. 400 Kg of fertilizer
d. 600 Kg of fertilizer
Explanation:
The percentage composition ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in a 1 Kg bag of the given fertilizer is 40:15:10.
Therefore a 1 Kg bag contains;
40/100 * 1 Kg = 0.4 Kg of Nitrogen;
15/100 * 1 Kg = 0.15 Kg of phosphorus;
10/100 * 1 Kg = 0.1 Kg of potassium
Quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply;
a. Nitrogen at 120 kg/ha = 120/0.4 = 300 Kg of fertilizer
b.. Nitrogen at 90 Kg/ha = 90/0.4 = 225 Kg of fertilizer
c. Phosphorus at a rate of 60 kg/ha = 60/0.15 = 400 Kg of fertilizer
d. Potassium at a rate of 60 kg/ha = 60/0.1 = 600 Kg of fertilizer
