Garden pea Fertilizer Calculator
Work out the exact urea, DAP and MOP for garden pea (vegetable) from the recommended 50:60:50 kg/ha N-P₂O₅-K₂O dose, adjusted to your soil test and field size.
Half N + full P, K basal; remaining N at flowering. The green-pod crop is harvested at peak nutrient demand, so it carries more N and K than a grain pea ever would.
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 Garden pea Fertilizer Calculator to convert the official garden pea (vegetable) 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 Garden pea Fertilizer Calculator
Garden peas are picked green, repeatedly, at the plant's hungriest stage — so unlike grain peas they justify a real N+K program with a flowering-stage split. This calculator starts from the published recommendation of 50:60:50 kg/ha N-P₂O₅-K₂O (vegetable crop (multi-pick)), 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 Garden pea 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 Garden pea Fertilizer Calculator?
- ✓Official package-of-practices dose for garden pea (vegetable) — 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 garden pea (vegetable)?+
Vegetable crop (multi-pick): 50 kg N, 60 kg P₂O₅ and 50 kg K₂O per hectare. Half N + full P, K basal; remaining N at flowering.
Why does vegetable pea need more fertilizer than grain pea?+
Green pods are harvested during peak growth — the plant never gets to remobilize stored nutrients the way a maturing grain crop does — so packages roughly double N and K to 50:60:50.
What improves pod sweetness and fill in garden pea?+
Adequate K and even moisture during pod fill, plus harvesting on time. Sugar converts to starch within hours of over-maturity, regardless of fertilization.
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.
