FERTILIZER 
Quantity and formula to use depend on various factors. Consult your county 
agent and your local fertilizer man. 
Nitrogen produces rapid growth and shows its presence in the form of dark 
green stalks and leaves. Too much nitrogen may delay maturity and increases 
the danger of lodging, particularly in grains. 
Phosphoric acid is very good for root development. It also promotes early and 
uniform maturity. It is active in the formation of the grain itself. 
Potash also aids in the formation of tubers, grain and seeds. It helps the 
strengthening of the stalk.
