Fertilizer Meter Rate Charts
Based on 1.04 kilograms-per-litre (65 pounds-per-cubic-foot) density
Density Conversion Chart
The fertilizer meter rate charts are based on fertilizer with a density of 1.04 kilograms per litre (65 pounds per cubic foot).
If you are applying fertilizer of a different density, use the following table to convert the application rate.
Example: Your fertilizer has a density of 0.72 kilograms per litre, and you want to apply 100 kilograms per hectare. Multiply
desired application rate by the conversion factor.
100 x 1.45 = 145
Adjust drill to setting closest to 145 kilograms per hectare.
