About this conversion
Cubic meters per square foot and Pounds per square meter are units used in the Universal Converter agriculture category. Cubic Meter per Square foot (m3/ft2): Liquid application rate. Pound per Square Meter (lb/m2): Mass application rate.
Cubic meters per square foot belongs to the liquid application rate family, while Pounds per square meter belongs to the mass application rate family.
