About Converting Gallons per Hectare to Gallons per Square Kilometer
Gallon per Hectare and Gallon per Square Kilometer both measure a farming-related quantity — a land area or an application/yield rate per unit area — used to report crop yields, calculate how much fertilizer or seed a field needs, and plan irrigation. Both are liquid application rate units.
Formula
gallons per square kilometer = gallons per hectare × 100
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per hectare equals 3.785412e-7 base units, and 1 gallon per square kilometer equals 3.785412e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per hectare-to-gallon per square kilometer factor of 100.
Simple example
1 gal/ha × 100 = 100 gal/km2
1 gallon per hectare = 100 gallons per square kilometer.
Real-world example
100 gal/ha × 100 = 10,000 gal/km2
100 gallons per hectare = 10,000 gallons per square kilometer.

What is a gallon per hectare?
Gallon per Hectare (gal/ha) is a unit of agriculture.
What is a gallon per square kilometer?
Gallon per Square Kilometer (gal/km2) is a unit of agriculture.
Is the gallon per hectare to gallon per square kilometer conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per hectare and gallon per square kilometer are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 100 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between a yield rate and an application rate?
A yield rate describes how much of a crop is harvested per unit of land area (for example, tonnes per hectare). An application rate describes how much of an input like fertilizer or seed is applied per unit of land area. Both are commonly expressed using the same kind of mass-per-area units.
