Convert Litres per Hectare to Gallons Per Acre


Litres per Hectare to Gallons Per Acre Calculator

Purpose:
Farmers often need to convert spray or fertilizer application rates between metric units (litres per hectare) and imperial units (gallons per acre), depending on the equipment or recommendations they have. This calculator helps you do that conversion correctly and easily.

Units Explained:

  • Litres per Hectare (L/ha):
    How many litres of liquid are applied over one hectare of land.
    (1 hectare = 10,000 square meters)

  • Gallons per Acre (gal/ac):
    How many gallons of liquid are applied over one acre of land.
    (1 acre ≈ 4046.86 square meters)
    Note: In the US, a gallon is typically the US liquid gallon (3.785 L).

Conversion Factors:

1 hectare = 2.47105 acres
1 US gallon = 3.78541 litres

Formula to Convert:

To convert from litres per hectare (L/ha) to gallons per acre (gal/ac):

gal/ac=L/ha×0.107

How to Use the Calculator:

  1. Enter the amount in litres per hectare (L/ha).
  2. The calculator multiplies that number by approximately 0.107.
  3. The result is the equivalent amount in gallons per acre (gal/ac).

Example:

If you spray 100 L/ha, then:

100×0.107=10.7 gal/ac

So, 100 litres per hectare is the same as about 10.7 gallons per acre.
