About Converting Liters per Square Kilometer to Gallons per Square Meter
Liter per Square Kilometer and Gallon per Square Meter 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 meter = liters per square kilometer × 2.641721e-7
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per square kilometer equals 1e-9 base units, and 1 gallon per square meter equals 0.003785411784 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per square kilometer-to-gallon per square meter factor of 2.641721e-7.
Simple example
1 L/km2 × 2.641721e-7 = 2.641721e-7 gal/m2
1 liter per square kilometer = 2.641721e-7 gallons per square meter.
