A Season Plan, Not a Single Dose
Fertilization works as a program: a base application at planting, then top-dressings timed to growth stages. Pick your crop group and the tool lays out each stage — timing, product, per-unit dose and your calculated total. Field crops scale by decare, orchards and vines by tree, potted plants by liters of soil, lawns by m².
The programs reflect mainstream agronomic practice at mid-range doses: cereals get phosphorus at seeding and split nitrogen in spring; vegetables front-load a balanced compound and shift to potassium at fruiting; fruit trees are fed under the canopy edge in late winter plus spring nitrogen. A soil test remains the honest basis — it can halve or double these numbers; regional extension recommendations override generic ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is nitrogen split into multiple applications?
Nitrogen leaches and volatilizes; plants take it up gradually. Splitting matches supply to demand — one big spring dose feeds the rain, not the crop.
Can I substitute a different fertilizer?
Yes, by nutrient content: our NPK Fertilizer Calculator converts any target between products. Keep phosphorus at the base application — it barely moves in soil.
How do pot doses relate to field doses?
Pots hold little soil and wash out with every watering, so they use small frequent doses (per liter of soil, biweekly liquid feeds) rather than one seasonal load. Never apply field rates to containers — roots burn.
