Liquid Product Density
Introduction: When purchasing liquid fertilizer, you may buy it in tons but apply it in gallons. To make sure Harvest Profit converts correctly between units, you’ll need to enter the product’s density.
Steps
- Locate the density value
- Ask your fertilizer provider for the exact density of the product.
- Or use published averages for common fertilizers:
- UAN 28% ≈ 10.65 lbs/gal
- UAN 32% ≈ 11.06 lbs/gal
- 10-34-0 ≈ 11.65 lbs/gal
- Enter the density in Harvest Profit
- Go to the Inputs Page.
- In the Liquid Density column, click Set Density next to your fertilizer product.
- Enter the density in pounds per gallon (required format).
- Example: For 10-34-0, enter 11.05 lbs/gal.
- Apply in gallons confidently
- Once density is entered, Harvest Profit will convert tons purchased into gallons applied automatically.
- Your per-acre costs and usage will stay accurate.
Note: If your account is set to Metric, you’ll need to convert density into pounds per gallon before entering.
