Solution-Lbs fertilizer needed for the area

Calculating how much fertilizer to add to an area:

STEP 1: Desired rate in lbs nitrogen (N)/1,000 sq.ft / % nutrient  (as a decimal) = fertilizer needed per 1,000 sq.ft.

STEP 2: Total fertilizer needed / 1,000 sq.ft. x area in sq.ft = lbs fertilizer needed for the area

For example, to fertilize a lawn area 50 x 100 ft at a rate of 1 lb N/1,000 sq.ft. with a 18-3-18 fertilizer, the following calculation is required:

1 / 0.18 = 5.5 lbs fertilizer product/1,000 sq.ft

5.5 / 1000 x 5,000 (area) =  27.5 lbs total fertilizer needed

PART 2

Using Google planimeter www.acme.com/planimeter  find Columbus Crew SC’s field at Mapfre Stadium (I suggest you use the satellite viewing option, rather than map option).

  1. Calculate the area of the field (all green space inside the stadium) Write the answer in sq.ft.
  1. Using the methods from Part 1, how many bags of organic10-2-8 fertilizer are needed if applied at 0.5lbs N/1,000 sq.ft.?
  1. How many bags of synthetic 18-0-18 fertilizer are needed for the same rate?
