Fenugreek Fertilizer Calculator
Work out the exact urea, DAP and MOP for fenugreek (methi) from the recommended 25:25:0 kg/ha N-P₂O₅-K₂O dose, adjusted to your soil test and field size.
Full dose basal — fenugreek is a legume and fixes its own N after the starter. For repeated leafy methi cuttings, a light 10 kg N after each cut regrows the canopy faster.
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 Fenugreek Fertilizer Calculator to convert the official fenugreek (methi) 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 Fenugreek Fertilizer Calculator
Fenugreek is the rare spice that is also a legume: a small starter dose plus rhizobium does the seed crop, while leafy methi growers add a token urea sprinkle after each cutting. This calculator starts from the published recommendation of 25:25:0 kg/ha N-P₂O₅-K₂O (irrigated), 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 Fenugreek 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 Fenugreek Fertilizer Calculator?
- ✓Official package-of-practices dose for fenugreek (methi) — 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 fenugreek (methi)?+
Irrigated: 25 kg N, 25 kg P₂O₅ and 0 kg K₂O per hectare. Full dose basal — fenugreek is a legume and fixes its own N after the starter.
Does fenugreek need urea top-dressing?+
Seed crops don't — nodulation covers N after the 25 kg starter. Leafy methi cut every 25–30 days benefits from ~10 kg N/ha after each cut to speed regrowth.
Why is no potash recommended for methi?+
On the alkaline soils of the main methi tracts K reserves are high; packages keep the plan at 25:25:0 unless a soil test shows otherwise.
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.
