ELP · 2012-04-19 21:02:58

Does any one know how to convert N.P.K. values for Southern to Northern values? I.e. what would be the equivilate to 26.6.6 southern npk in the North, or 25.5.5 nothern npk in the south? Is there a formula?

In South we work with P whereas in the UK its P2o5, similarily with K and in the UK they use K2o

so multiply P by 2.3 to get P2o5
and multiply K by 1.2 to get K2o

I think my figures are right but they are on the net somewhere
