Frequently Asked Questions
Why does fertilizer nutrient percentage matter?
Fertilizer products vary in nutrient concentration (e.g. urea is 46% nitrogen) — you need more total product weight for a lower-concentration fertilizer to deliver the same actual nutrient amount per acre.
How do I determine the right target nutrient rate?
Target rates depend on crop type, soil test results, and yield goals — a soil test is the most reliable way to determine actual nutrient needs rather than applying a generic blanket rate.
Does over-fertilizing have downsides beyond cost?
Yes — excess fertilizer can leach into groundwater or run off into waterways causing environmental harm, and in some cases can actually harm crop growth, making accurate rate calculation valuable beyond just cost savings.
