What is the Fertilizer Requirement Calculator?
A fertilizer requirement calculator converts the recommended nutrient dose (N, P₂O₅, K₂O per hectare) into actual bags of straight fertilisers.
How to Calculate
Total nutrient = dose × area. Urea = N ÷ 0.46, SSP = P₂O₅ ÷ 0.16, MOP = K₂O ÷ 0.60.
Formula
Fertiliser (kg) = Nutrient needed ÷ Nutrient content
