Kilogram per Hectare (kg/ha)
Kilograms per hectare are the standard unit for fertiliser, seed and pesticide rates and for crop yield. A typical Indian recommendation for wheat is 120 kg N, 60 kg P₂O₅ and 40 kg K₂O per hectare.
Symbol: kg/ha
Quantity: mass applied or harvested per unit land area
SI relation: kg/ha is the coherent SI unit of application rate.
Derivation: Mass applied per hectare (10,000 m²).
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- Fertiliser recommendations (N:P:K kg/ha)
- Seed rate and sowing
- Crop yield statistics
