Urea Calculator (urea needed for nitrogen)

Work out how much urea and how many bags you need to give your crop the nitrogen (N) it needs per acre.

Quick answer

50 kg N per acre, 2 acres: 217.4 kg, i.e. 5 bags.

How it is calculated

  1. Urea contains 46% nitrogen.
  2. Urea per acre = nitrogen ÷ 0.46 = 50 ÷ 0.46 = 108.7 kg.
  3. Total = per acre × acres; bags = total ÷ 45 kg, rounded up.

Worked example

A 2-acre field needs 50 kg nitrogen per acre. You need 217.4 kg of urea in total, i.e. 5 bags of 45 kg.

Formula
Urea = Nk×Ac/0.46
Bags (45 kg) = ceil(Nk×Ac/0.46/45)
