16.5 Calculating Nutrients in Liquid Fertilizer (Bulk Density!)


Listen Later

We unpack why liquid fertilizer math trips people up and discuss how to figure out how to determine pounds of fertilizer in a liquid fertilizer. We talk real examples and show how small liquid fertilizer densities can drastically affect starter outcomes, especially in cold soils.

In this Tiny Bytes, we talk

• the dry vs liquid mindset shift 
• how density changes gallons into pounds 
• where to find pounds per gallon on fertilizer labels 
• comparing phosphorus from 10-34-0 and 6-24-6 
• implications for starter fertilizer in cold springs 
• simple rules to avoid under or over application

Tune in next time for a Tiny Byte of knowledge from GK Technology, where we have a map and an app for that
