How it works
A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds, and a hectare is about 2.47 acres. Dividing those gives the factor, about 0.89, that turns kilograms per hectare into pounds per acre.
Enter the rate in kilograms per hectare. The example shows the same rate in pounds per acre, which is what US labels use.
Worked example
A rate of 50 kilograms per hectare is 44.6 pounds per acre.
Questions
Is this rate the same as the amount for my field?
No. A rate is per unit of ground. Multiply it by the acres in your field to get the total weight to order.
Why not just multiply by 2.2?
The area changes too. A hectare is about 2.47 acres, so the unit change is not the weight change alone. The combined factor is about 0.89.
Can I go the other way?
Yes. Divide pounds per acre by 0.89 to get kilograms per hectare.
