(12 pts) The average for wheat yields in Florida is around 40 bushels per acre. Assuming a concentration of 3.5% N in the wheat, and the use of ammonium nitrate (34-0-0) and the fertilizer from the class (NatureSafe 13-0-0), compute the following: a. (3 pts) The yield and amount of N that is harvested with the crop (all in kg ha-1). Dont adjust for moisture in bushels (i.e., assume everything is measured and reported with 0% moisture). b. (3 pts) How much ammonium nitrate (in lb ac-1) must you add to supply sufficient N? c. (3 pts) How much of the 13-0-0 (lb ac-1) must you add to supply sufficient N, assuming that only 80% of the N found in this product will be available to plants during the growing season? d. (3 pts) Both fertilizers are the same cost: $35 for a 50 lb bag. Compute how much it costs to supply the N computed in b and c with these products, for 1 acre.
