46% x 1lb = .46lbs nitrogen applied for every 1lb of product and you need 1lb of nitrogen per 1000 sq ft.

4lbs of product for 1000 sq ft x 8 = 32lbs
Assuming you want one pound of N per thousand square feet,
2.17lb of product for 1000 sq ft x 8 = 17.39lb off urea fert spread evenly over the entire 8000sqft lawn.

Ah doing math in my head while holding a crying baby, yes my estimate should have been around 16lbs not 32. I hope I didn't burn his lawn. 😂 😱
Right there with you on the screaming baby.

Doubt it would be burned. Bermuda loves nitrogen.

for 8000sqft coverage: 8.7lbs for .5# 1000; 13lbs for .75# 1000; 17.4lbs for 1# 1000; 26.1lbs for 1.5# 1000
? You lost me on this one
These rates were pounds of urea fert to give you X pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 sqft.

If you want 1/2LB N per 1,000 sqft, then spread 8.7lb over the entire 8000sqft area. If you want 1.5LB of N per 1,000 sqft, spread 26.1 of fert over the 8000sqft area.
