Temperature
To convert Fahrenheit to Centigrades (Celsius):
Subtract 32 and multiply by .55
(68°F minus 32 x .55 = 20°)
To convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit:
Multiply by 1.8 and add 32
(20° C x 1.8+32 = 68° F)
Pesticide Equivalent Table
Most Pesticides give directions for using the chemical in 100galsof water. Use the following table to determine the quantity when using less than 100gals of spray material.

Parts Per Million
1oz/100gal = 75 ppm
To determine parts per million(ppm) of an element in a fertilizer, simply multiply the percent of that element by 75. The answer will be the ppm of the elementper ounce of the fertilizer in 100 gallons of water.
Example: 20-10-20 contains 20% Nitrogen. 20% multiplied by 75 is 15, which is the ppm of Nitrogen in one ounce of 20-10-20 per 100 gallons of water.
Therefore, if 200ppm N is desired, divide 200 by 15 = 13.3 oz of 20-10-20 are required to produce a 200 ppm N solution in 100 gals of water.
A simple formula can also be used:
ppm desired divided by 75 divided by the decimal expression of nutrient desired = oz of fertilizer to use in 100gals of water.
Example: How much 20-10-20 fertilizer should you use to obtain a 200 ppm Nitrogen Solution?
200ppm divided by 75
.20 = 13.3 oz/100gals water
