Can anybody please help? I am looking for a book with formulas for industrial fertilizers.?

Question

I really need to get something like this so I can finish my thesis for a masters in agronomical engineering.

Answer 1

Look on the side of the packet.

Answer 2

There are numerous college text books on soils and soil nutrition.  Look them up at the library, your local agricultural extension office, or online at Borders Books.

How did you get to the Masters level without already accessing such a book?  Tell me which college you go to so I can direct people away from such a shallow education.  I didn't know there was a word, much less a degree title "agronomical".

On the topic of terrorism and fertilizers, yes, there could be a link, but only with one specific fertilizer which understandably is now hard to get.  Enough said here.

Answer 3

I think you're gonna be hardpressed to find a book with exactly what you're looking for.  As far as I know, industrial fertilizer "recipes" aren't just handed out openly to anyone with enough cash to buy a book.  What I mean is I think there are laws preventing such a book.

However, you might find some good information at your local Ag Co-op or grain bin/storage facility.  If such a book does exist; I'm betting they would be the ones to have it.

Answer 4

I know where to find all of this information, since I have lived/worked on my farm for over 20 years.  However since terrorism and industrial fertilizers are too easy a combination, I will not divulge where to find this easily accessable information.  

For someone who is truely studing for a Masters in Agronomical Engineering, they would already have knowledge and access to this information.  

I encourage everyone to keep their thoughts to themselves, and NOT answer this particular question.

Answer 5

Ever see Tom Hanks in Big?  I don't get it!  What is industrial fertilizer?  Is it different than ordinary fertilizer?

Answer 6

Industrial fertilizers are too straightforward and simple to need a book. They are required by U.S. law to list the ingredients and proportions on the bag or container. Large-scale farmers typically tell the supplier what nutrients, micronutrients, pH modifiers and soil conditioners they want in the mix. How in the heck did you get to the master's degree level without learning enough agricultural chemistry to know that?
