Compare Fertilizer Programs on Equal Terms
Price per ton or price per gallon does not tell the entire story. Product analysis, density and application rate determine how much nutrient reaches each acre and what that nutrient actually costs.
Calculate Cost Per Pound of Nutrient
Cost per pound of nutrient can help compare products with different analyses. It is especially useful when comparing nitrogen sources or evaluating specialty products alongside a base fertility program.
Look Beyond Fertilizer Price Alone
The lowest price per pound is not always the best agronomic choice. Placement, timing, nutrient form, crop safety, handling, compatibility and field conditions can all affect value.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate fertilizer cost per acre?
Multiply the amount of product applied per acre by the cost per unit of product, then adjust for the product unit and density when necessary.
Why calculate cost per pound of nutrient?
It helps compare fertilizer sources with different analyses and prices on a more consistent basis.
Does the cheapest nutrient source always win?
No. Availability, placement, timing, handling and agronomic fit can be just as important as raw nutrient cost.
