About Foliar Urea Spray Calculator

When the topsoil is dry at flowering or grain-fill, soil urea can't be taken up โ€” but a 2% foliar urea spray (20 g per litre) delivers nitrogen straight through the leaf. It's the cheapest late-season rescue for pulses, oilseeds and cereals. This tool converts the 2% strength into grams of urea for your exact tank or knapsack volume.

Frequently asked questions

How do I mix a 2% urea spray?+

A 2% w/v spray means 20.0 g per litre of water, so a 15 L knapsack needs 300 g. The calculator scales this to whatever tank size you enter.

When should I spray for the best result?+

A 2% urea foliar spray (20 g/L) is the standard quick nitrogen boost for pulses, oilseeds and cereals at flowering/grain-fill when the soil is dry. Spray in the cool of evening; don't exceed 2% or leaves scorch.

Can I increase the concentration to work faster?+

No โ€” going above the recommended 2% risks scorching the leaves and wasting product. Repeat sprays at the correct strength instead of one strong one.

Is the tool free and private?+

Yes โ€” free, no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so it works offline in the field.
