About Converting Short tons per Hectare to Short tons per Square Kilometer
Short ton per Hectare and Short ton 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 mass application rate units.
Formula
short tons per square kilometer = short tons per hectare × 100
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 short ton per hectare equals 0.090718474 base units, and 1 short ton per square kilometer equals 0.00090718474 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct short ton per hectare-to-short ton per square kilometer factor of 100.
Simple example
1 ton/ha × 100 = 100 ton/km2
1 short ton per hectare = 100 short tons per square kilometer.
Real-world example
100 ton/ha × 100 = 10,000 ton/km2
100 short tons per hectare = 10,000 short tons per square kilometer.

What is a short ton per hectare?
Short ton per Hectare (ton/ha) is a unit of agriculture.
What is a short ton per square kilometer?
Short ton per Square Kilometer (ton/km2) is a unit of agriculture.
Is the short ton per hectare to short ton per square kilometer conversion exact?
Yes. Both short ton per hectare and short ton 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.
