Lime and fertilizer timing for seeded land and pastures
Experts advise topdressing lime and nutrients after oats are harvested if you had a good stand, or lime after oats and reseed by August 15 if the stand was poor. For 2,4-D or Amino Triazole sprayed pastures, remove livestock for a week if large areas were treated, or if only small spots are treated animals may stay with minerals available.
