Fertilizer Dilution Calculator
Calculate the volume of stock fertilizer solution and water needed to achieve a target concentration.
How to Use the Fertilizer Dilution Calculator
- Enter the stock solution concentration (%).
- Enter the desired working solution concentration (%).
- Enter the desired volume of working solution (L).
- Click Calculate to get the volumes of stock and water needed.
Use Cases
- •Preparing nutrient solutions for hydroponics.
- •Diluting liquid fertilizers for irrigation.
- •Fertigation through drip irrigation systems.
- •Laboratory solution preparation.
Formula
C₁V₁ = C₂V₂, so V₁ = C₂ × V₂ / C₁. Water volume = V₂ − V₁.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fertilizer stock solution?
A stock solution is a highly concentrated fertilizer solution that is diluted before use.
What does C1V1 = C2V2 mean?
This dilution law states that concentration × volume is constant. C1 is the stock concentration, C2 is the target concentration.
How do I verify the dilution is correct?
Use an EC meter or refractometer to check the concentration of the prepared solution.
