10.3      A farmer wishes to buy a fertilizer which will ensure a good maize harvest. He
          chooses a 50 kg bag of fertiliser with the following numbers written on the
          label: 7:2:1(X).

          10.3.1      Determine the value of X, if the bag contains 1,2 kg of potassium.         (4)

          10.3.2      Will this fertilizer lead to a good crop yield? Briefly explain your
                      answer.                                                                    (3)

10.4      The excessive use of fertilizers can lead to eutrophication. Write down TWO
