Suppose we accept a 300#/acre nitrogen application for row crops, 6000# of ammonium nitrate is required for 6 acres.

Wouldn't that be 20 acres?

Been through this previously. Please see posts 16,61 and 72.

The ratio numbers on a bag of fertilizer indicate the amounts of the elements in a hundred weight of the product. Thus 34-0-0 indicates 34# of nitrogen per hundred weight of the fertilizer. If the bag is 50#, there's 17# of nitrogen available.

If you triple the amount of actual N per acre, and have plentiful rainfall, you might get lush vegetation ......and no flowers or fruit. Most likely you'll get 'Crispy Critters'.
