1. **State the problem:** We need to calculate the amount of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) received by a single plant based on the fertilizer recommendation and plant spacing. 2. **Given data:** - Fertilizer recommendation (N–P₂O₅–K₂O) = 120 + 60 + 60 - Plant spacing = 20 cm × 20 cm - Plants per hill = 3 - Percentage of P in P₂O₅ = 44% (0.44) - Percentage of K in K₂O = 83% (0.83) 3. **Calculate the amount of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) from P₂O₅ and K₂O:** - Amount of P = $60 \times 0.44 = 26.4$ - Amount of K = $60 \times 0.83 = 49.8$ 4. **Calculate the total plants per unit area:** - Area per hill = $20cm \times 20cm = 400 \text{ cm}^2$ - Plants per hill = 3 5. **Calculate fertilizer amount per plant:** - Total fertilizer per hill (N, P, K) = (120, 26.4, 49.8) - Fertilizer per plant = $\frac{\text{total fertilizer per hill}}{\text{plants per hill}} = \frac{(120, 26.4, 49.8)}{3} = (40, 8.8, 16.6)$ 6. **Final answer:** Each plant receives - Nitrogen (N): $40$ - Phosphorus (P): $8.8$ - Potassium (K): $16.6$
