One Fert: This calculator
determines the application rate of one fertilizer given a set of soil
test recommendations for nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. The nutrient
from which calculations are made is selected and the deficit or surplus
of the other nutrients are calculated.
Mult Fert: This calculator
determines the application rate of up to three fertilizers given a set
of soil test recommendations for nitrogen, phosphate, and potash. The
calculator will determine the best rates for the fertilizers selected
to match the recommendations entered. Deficits or surpluses from the
recommendation rates are reported.
Econ Lime: This is an economic
lime calculator that will calculate corrected lime application rates
based on lime RNV. Economic factors are also calculated to determine
the actual value of the lime.
Econ Lime
II: This is a more complex economic lime calculator that allows you
to enter hauling, purchase and spreading cost of lime and you can compare
up to three lime sources.
AGR1 Calc:
The AGR1 Calculator is based on University of Kentucky fertilizer and
lime recommendations published in the UK AGR1 publication entitled "2002-2003
Lime and Nutrient Recommendations". Laboratory data and crop information
are entered and recommendations are calculated for the entered data.
Manure: This
calculator is an EXCEL file that should be downloaded before operating.
The calculator will determine manure application rates to meet nutrient
demands of the crop.
The manure calculator is an EXCEL file that should be downloaded before
operating. The other calculators are normally operated directly from
the internet. You can download the internet calculators to work with
them without internet connection. Follow the directions below to get
