iTop-Dressing Lowers Winterkill Loss in Legume Seedings
The Middle West Soil Improvement Committee reports late fall or early winter top-dressing of new legume seedings with barnyard manure reduces winter kill and boosts hay yields. Agronomists note one ton of manure equals about 100 pounds of 10-5-10 fertilizer. adding superphosphate, either during storage or at field spread, reduces nitrogen loss and improves nutrient efficiency.
