Enter the total number of plants and the total area (ft^2) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Plants Per Square Feet. 

Plants Per Square Feet Formula

PLSF = P / A

Variables:

  • PLSF is the Plants Per Square Feet (plants/ft^2)
  • P is the total number of plants
  • A is the total area (ft^2)

To calculate Plants Per Square Feet, divide the total number of plants by the total area.

How to Calculate Plants Per Square Feet?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Plants Per Square Feet.


  1. First, determine the total number of plants. 
  2. Next, determine the total area (ft^2). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = PLSF = P / A.
  4. Finally, calculate the Plants Per Square Feet.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total number of plants = 100

total area (ft^2) = 12
