Best Answer

Environmental factors and plot size affect the amount of fertilizer applied to maize (Zea mays).

Specifically, larger areas generally have to be treated with greater amounts of fertilizer. But other environmental factors also influence the decision. Questions that must be answered range from planting density to nutrient carryover and soil fertility.

If you need 35 pounds of phosphorus and 60 pounds of potassium per acre how much 0-11-52 fertilizer do you apply per acre?

The 0-11-52 means 0% Nitrogen (N), 11% Phosphorous (P) and 52 Potassium (K). The ratio of P to K that you need is 35/60 or ~ 1/2, but the P to K ratio of your "fertilizer" is 11/52 or ~ 1/5. You should get a fertilizer with a ratio more in line with what you need or expect to have to apply multiple fertilizers. Here is how you work out how much to apply per acre for each nutrient. Using Potassium as an example lbs to apply per acre = <lbs nutrient required per acre> / <% nutrient> lbs K to apply per acre = 60 / 0.52 ~ 120 lbs But like I said you would not get the correct amount of P with this fertilizer.
