How it's calculated

DAP (kg) = P₂O₅ ÷ 0.46; N supplied by DAP = DAP × 0.18
SSP (kg) = P₂O₅ ÷ 0.16
Urea (kg) = (N target − N from DAP) ÷ 0.46
MOP (kg) = K₂O ÷ 0.60
Bags: urea 45 kg, DAP/SSP/MOP 50 kg

Assumptions

This tool converts the nutrient targets you provide into product quantities. It does not decide how much your crop needs. Split application timing, micronutrients, organic manures and SSP's sulphur/calcium content are not included. All prices are editable illustrative values, not current market prices.

Worked example

2 acres at 48:24:16 kg/acre N:P₂O₅:K₂O with DAP → 104.3 kg DAP (supplies 18.8 kg N), 167.9 kg urea, 53.3 kg MOP.
