Fertilizer Rate Calculator





Formula

To calculate the Fertilizer Rate:

\[ FR = \frac{RN}{\left(\frac{PN}{100}\right)} \]

Where:

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal:

\[ \frac{PN}{100} = \frac{10}{100} = 0.1 \]

Step 2: Divide the rate of desired nutrient by the decimal value:

\[ FR = \frac{50}{0.1} = 500 \text{ lbs of fertilizer} \]

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal:

\[ \frac{PN}{100} = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15 \]

Step 2: Divide the rate of desired nutrient by the decimal value:

\[ FR = \frac{30}{0.15} = 200 \text{ lbs of fertilizer} \]
