We unpack why liquid fertilizer math trips people up and discuss how to figure out how to determine pounds of fertilizer in a liquid fertilizer. We talk real examples and show how small liquid fertilizer densities can drastically affect starter outcomes, especially in cold soils.
In this Tiny Bytes, we talk
• the dry vs liquid mindset shift
• how density changes gallons into pounds
• where to find pounds per gallon on fertilizer labels
• comparing phosphorus from 10-34-0 and 6-24-6
• implications for starter fertilizer in cold springs
• simple rules to avoid under or over application
Tune in next time for a Tiny Byte of knowledge from GK Technology, where we have a map and an app for that
