Fertilizer planning is one of the cornerstones of building a strong agronomic plan. To make this process faster and more integrated with your activity workflow, we are now introducing Fertilizer Rate Optimization by Target Nutrient Load, a new web-based tool that calculates optimized fertilizer product rates based on your nutrient goals.
Instead of relying on spreadsheets or external calculators, agronomists and advisors can now set nutrient targets directly within Agworld and instantly calculate the product rates required to achieve these targets.
Set nutrient targets
Plan by Nutrient, Not Just Product
With the Target Nutrient Load calculator, fertilizer planning starts with your nutrient goals. You can set targets for key nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulfur (S), and micronutrients.
Once targets are defined, Agworld automatically calculates the fertilizer product rates required to meet those nutrient loads. This nutrient-first approach ensures that agronomic goals remain the priority before other optimization factors are applied.
Because the calculator works directly within the activity workflow, recommendations stay connected to your plans, records, and reporting, helping keep fertilizer strategies organized and consistent across your operation.
Automatically Optimize Product Rates
After nutrient targets are set, Agworld calculates optimized product rates using built-in optimization logic. The system first prioritizes achieving the defined nutrient loads, then applies additional optimization where possible.
When product pricing is available, the system can optimize rates by cost, helping advisors balance agronomic recommendations with economic considerations.
At the same time, agronomists maintain full flexibility. Calculated product rates can be adjusted or overridden manually before saving recommendations, ensuring users stay in control of the final plan.

A Simpler, Web-First Workflow
Many agronomy teams currently rely on external calculators, spreadsheets, or ERP tools to determine fertilizer rates. This new feature brings that process directly into Agworld with a streamlined web-first experience.
Users can:
- Add fertilizer products directly to an activity
- Set nutrient targets for N, P, K, S, and micronutrients
- Automatically calculate optimized fertilizer rates
- View how each product contributes to total nutrient loads
- Save optimized recommendations directly into activities or plans
By simplifying fertilizer optimization and keeping calculations connected to your agronomic records, this workflow helps reduce tool switching and improves confidence in your fertilizer recommendations.
Available Now
Fertilizer Rate Optimization by Target Nutrient Load is now available in Agworld on your web browser.
Start setting nutrient targets and calculating optimized fertilizer rates directly within your activity workflow, making fertilizer planning simpler, smarter, and more connected.
