Gallons Per Acre Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the gallons per acre (GPA) is:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{V}{A} \]

Where:

\(\text{GPA}\) is the gallons per acre
\(V\) is the total volume of liquid in gallons
\(A\) is the area in acres

What is Gallons Per Acre?

Gallons per acre (GPA) is a unit of measurement commonly used in agriculture and land management to determine the amount of liquid that is applied to an acre of land. This measurement is particularly important for the precise application of water, pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers to ensure proper coverage without waste or environmental harm.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Volume of Liquid (V) = 500 gallons
Area (A) = 2 acres

Using the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{V}{A} = \frac{500}{2} = 250 \]

The Gallons Per Acre (GPA) is 250 gallons/acre.
