Fertilizer Application Rate

How to Calculate Fertilizer Application

The Fertilizer Application calculator can calculate imperial (acres, lbs) or metric (hectare, kg) units. The calculator can calculate imperial or metric units depending on your choice. The calculator cannot calculate imperial and metric in the same expression. For example the calculator will return the wrong result if metric is used for one term and imperial used for second term in the same expression.
