How to translate from ppm of N to weight units?

1

Let’s start with 75 ppm of Nitrogen.

2

75 ppm is 75 mg in one Kg because 1 ppm is 1 part in 1’000’000 by weight or 0,000001 of 1 Kg

There is NPK with the rate 15%-09%-20% available

3

75 mg is the nitrogen (N) weight only.

Recommendation in culture guides

4

It is necessary to know weight of entire fertilizer. But we know that 75 mg is 15% from the entire fertilizer weight

5

Thus, to find an entire weight we need to calculate: 75 x 100/15 = 500 mg of fertilizer in 1 liter.
