Detailed explanation-1: -Soil test recommendations are given in lb/ac or kg/ha of nutrients. To determine the fertilizer rate for a particular nutrient, multiply the rate of the desired nutrient by 100 and divide by the percentage of the nutrient in the fertilizer.
Detailed explanation-2: -A fertilizer recommendation is the research-based set of guidelines, or management practices, for supplying fertilizer to the crop to achieve yield and quality goals (economic) in a manner that minimizes nutrient losses to the environment.
