Calculating Fertilizer for Application for Corn Seed

Example = 300 lbs. of 6/24/24 per Acre

Multiply:
300 x 6% = 18 lbs. N/Acre
300 x 24% = 72 lbs. P/Acre
300 x 24% = 72 lbs. K/Acre

So, with 300 lbs. of 6/24/24, you are putting down 18 units of Nitrogen, 72 units of Phosphorous and 72 units of Potassium.

Nitrogen Needs – Corn needs about 1.1 units (or lbs.) per expected Bu.

Manure Credits – Add 3 units for every ton of manure applied.
