Plant nutrients

The nutrient content of fertilisers can be declared as either oxide or elemental. These converters allow conversions between the two units.

P from/to P2O5

K from/to K2O

Ca from/to CaO

Mg from/to MgO

S from/to SO3

Ca from/to CaCO3

Na from/to Na2O

Na from/to NaCl

Fertigation

Fertigation and water analyses can be reported as a concentration of nutrients (mmol per litre) or as the weight of nutrients (mg per litre). These converters allow you to easily switch between the two units.

Nitrate (N)

Ammonium (N)

Phosphorus (P)

Potassium (K)

Calcium (Ca)

Magnesium (Mg)

Sulphur (S)

Boron (B)

Copper (Cu)

Iron (Fe)

Manganese (Mn)

Molybdenum (Mo)

Sodium (Na)

Zinc (Zn)

Chloride (Cl)

Bicarbonate (HCO3)

Yield and rate

Various units can be used to express weight per area for measurement of crop yield or fertiliser application rates. These converters allow conversions between common metric and imperial units.

kg-ha from/to lb-acre

kg-ha from/to cwt-acre

kg-ha from/to units-acre

kg-ha from/to bags-acre

L-ha from/to gallon-acre

L-ha from/to imperial gallon-acre

L-ha from/to US gallon-acre

m3-ha from/to gallon-acre

t-ha from/to lb-acre

t-ha from/to t-acre

Irrigation volume

Various units are used to measure the amount of water applied to an area for irrigation. Here are some conversions between the common metric and imperial units.

m3 from/to acre-in

m3/h from/to ft3/s

m3/h from/to gal/m

ha-m from/to acre-ft

ha-m from/to acre-in

ha-cm from/to acre-ft

Concentrations

Quick conversions between commonly used units for measuring concentrations.

cmol-kg from/to meq 100g

g-kg from/to %

mg-kg from/to ppm

mg-kg from/to ppb

Weight

Quick conversions between commonly used metric and imperial units for measuring weight.

g from/to lb

g from/to oz

kg from/to lb

kg from/to ton

Pressure

Quick conversions between commonly used units for measuring pressure.

MPa from/to atmosphere

MPa from/to bar

Pa from/to lb-ft

Pa from/to lb-in

Pound per square inch from/to bar

Temperature

Quick conversions between commonly used temperature scales.

K from/to C

C from/to F

Fertiliser quality - don't settle for less
Soil fertility is certainly top of both farmers and policy makers minds currently, with a broad consensus that it plays a key role in the continued economic and environmental sustainability of farms.
Cows in a field
Keeping clover in fine fettle
White clover is being increasingly used on intensively grazed farms where the benefits can be substantial, lowering both the cost of growing grass and the carbon emissions intensity of milk produced. Managing nutrient and fertiliser inputs is a key component in establishing and maintaining clover in these swards successfully.
Canola Fields
Sulphur: Best Practice
It is widely accepted that UK soils are deficient in sulphur so supplementation via organic manures or mineral fertilisers is essential. What I think is less understood is that not all sulphur-containing fertilisers are the same.
