What this page needs from you
This page asks for nitrogen needed in lb N/acre, fertiliser n content as a percentage, area in acres and price per ton. From those it returns product per acre in lb, together with total product, total cost, cost per acre and cost per pound of n. Every figure updates as you type, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Rates are regional, and local advice beats a general figure
Soil type, rainfall, variety and season change the right answer more than the arithmetic does. Use this to plan and to check an order, and check the figure against your local extension service, agronomist or supplier before committing to a whole field.
The formula
Product = nitrogen needed ÷ analysis; urea at 46% N needs 326 lb for 150 lb of N
Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.
