might be wrong but dont think you can compare omex fert on tonne tonne basis with granular fert, i belive you need to compare the cube price to compare to granular price

nope tonne is a tonne, a cube could be 1.1-1.4t/cube

just break it down as to what you are getting nutrient wise, you can compare, cubes vs tonnes easily that way.

But if you put 100 ltrs ha of the omex stuff on you are putting on 26kgs n 5kgs s ha or do you put on 120trs ish (depending on sg) to get the 26kgs n 5kgs s?
I know the yara stuff you need to compare cube price to granular t price ?

when you are comparing prices you just go off £/nutrients

if you applied 100l of a 25n 7s (sorry that’s what I have a chart for) you would apply 32kgN and 9kgSo3

25 N means 25% Nitrogen. ie 250 KG of Nitrogen in a tonne/cube
Not sure how you get 32 N from an application of 100 lts ??
It would need to be 32 % N ???
not if you are buying it by the tonne.

27n 5s in liquid brought by the tonne contains 270kg N and 50kg so3 in that tonne

it would have an SG of about 1.295

so a cube would weigh 1.295t

so in a cube there is about 350 N and 65kg S
