Lime Per Acre Calculator

Formula

To calculate Lime Per Acre:

\[ LPA = \frac{L}{A} \]

Where:

\(LPA\) is the Lime Per Acre (lbs/acre)
\(L\) is the total lime (lbs)
\(A\) is the total acres

What is Lime Per Acre?

Lime Per Acre (LPA) is a measure used in agriculture to determine the amount of lime needed per acre of land. Lime is often applied to soil to adjust its pH level, making it more suitable for crop growth. Proper calculation of lime per acre ensures that the soil receives the right amount of lime, promoting healthy plant growth and maximizing crop yield.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Lime (L) = 2000 lbs
Total Acres (A) = 10 acres

Using the formula:

\[ LPA = \frac{2000}{10} = 200 \text{ lbs/acre} \]

The Lime Per Acre is 200 lbs/acre.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Lime (L) = 5000 lbs
Total Acres (A) = 25 acres

Using the formula:

\[ LPA = \frac{5000}{25} = 200 \text{ lbs/acre} \]

The Lime Per Acre is 200 lbs/acre.
