Seems like everyone talks about ppm. My soil tests lists in lbs/A. I would guess there is a formula to change...it sure would help me know where I stand. Thanks for all the help...again. Peace Wayne

The best place to check with is the lab that did the test. In my business, I prefer to wok with "Pounds Per Acre" since we apply everything in pounds & clients have an easier time grasping the equivalents.

The lab may have estimated your available nutrients to 6, 9, or 12 inches of soil depth.

In most cases, I multiply ppm by 2 to derive pounds per acre.
