This tool multiplies the rate in the product's circulation decision by the area you enter, so you can estimate how much to buy. It doesn't take account of your soil, variety, weather or farming practice. When you apply fertilizer, follow the instructions on the label and don't exceed the label rate. If a result differs from the label, follow the label and tell Minh Tam.
