    You are getting 14% extra N and 19% extra P for 13% extra Cost. So the second one is slightly better value.

    I would double check the second compound, the source of N may also be urea based to cheapen it a bit more so prices could be allot closer than you think. I used to have a little excel sheet on my old computer. A bit of a simultaneous equation if you want to work it out

    i think restive has it fairly well worked out so no real need to go down that road.
