Berseem Fertilizer Calculator
Work out the exact urea, DAP and MOP for berseem from the recommended 25:60:30 kg/ha N-P₂O₅-K₂O dose, adjusted to your soil test and field size.
Full dose basal at sowing with rhizobium-treated seed. The legume then feeds itself; the P-rich start is what powers 4–6 luxuriant winter cuts.
Indicative planning figures based on published research averages. Local soil tests, varieties and weather change actual requirements — confirm with your agronomist or extension officer.
Farmers and agronomists use the free Berseem Fertilizer Calculator to convert the official berseem recommendation into exact urea, DAP and MOP quantities for their own field in seconds — no agronomy tables, no spreadsheet, and it works offline in the field.
About Berseem Fertilizer Calculator
Berseem — the king of rabi fodder — converts one phosphorus-led basal dose plus its own fixed nitrogen into 4–6 cuts of milk-driving green feed all winter. This calculator starts from the published recommendation of 25:60:30 kg/ha N-P₂O₅-K₂O (rabi multi-cut), adjusts it ±25% for your soil-test N, P and K ratings, scales it to your field area in hectares, acres or bigha, and converts the nutrients into real products — urea (46% N), DAP (18-46-0) and MOP (0-0-60) — including the number of bags to buy.
How to use Berseem Fertilizer Calculator
- 1Enter your field area and pick the unit (hectare, acre or bigha).
- 2Choose the growing condition and your soil-test ratings for N, P and K — leave Medium if you have no recent soil test.
- 3Read off the urea, DAP and MOP quantities and bag counts, then follow the split-application note for timing.
Why use Berseem Fertilizer Calculator?
- ✓Official package-of-practices dose for berseem — not a generic NPK guess
- ✓Soil-test Low/Medium/High ratings adjust the dose ±25% automatically
- ✓Converts nutrients to urea, DAP and MOP bags, with the DAP nitrogen credit handled correctly
- ✓Works in hectares, acres and bigha — and runs fully in your browser, even offline in the field
Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended fertilizer dose for berseem?+
Rabi multi-cut: 25 kg N, 60 kg P₂O₅ and 30 kg K₂O per hectare. Full dose basal at sowing with rhizobium-treated seed.
Does berseem need urea after each cut like grasses do?+
No — unlike oats or napier, berseem is a legume and regrows on fixed N. If a stand yellows mid-season, check waterlogging and P, not nitrogen.
What seed treatment goes with berseem fertilizer?+
Rhizobium trifolii inoculation (essential in new fields), and sieving out chicory (kasni) weed seed; the 60 kg P2O5 basal then carries the full multi-cut season.
How does the calculator convert NPK into urea, DAP and MOP?+
DAP (46% P₂O₅) is sized to cover the phosphorus need; the nitrogen it also carries (18% N) is credited against the N requirement, and urea (46% N) supplies the balance. MOP (60% K₂O) covers potassium. Bag counts use 45 kg urea and 50 kg DAP/MOP bags.
Is this tool free, and does my data leave the device?+
It is completely free with no sign-up, and all calculation happens in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded, so it also works offline in the field.
