The lowest price per net pound of Citrus fertilizer you can buy. For example:
Brand A: 3-lb jar of 8-4-8 for $8.
Brand B: 1.5-lb jar of 20-10-15 for $9.
The Nitrogen in Brand A costs $8 / (3-lb x 0.08) = $33.33 per pound.
The Nitrogen in Brand B costs $9 / (1.5-lb x 0.20) = $30 per pound.
Brand B is a better buy.
