OPTIONS
Option 1. To calculate the amount of fertilizer
materials for 1 ha at the recommended
rate of 90 + 30 + 60 using a
combination of single fertilizers:
• 14-14-14 (complete)
• 46-0-0 (urea)
• 0-0-60 (muriate of potash)
Amount of 14-14-14 (kg) = 30 kg P2O5/ha x 1 ha = 214.3
0.14
Amount of 46-0-0 (kg) = 90 kg N – kg N from 214.3 kg 14-14-14/ha x 1 ha
0.46
= 90 – (214.3 x 0.14) = 90 – 30 = 60 = 130.
