The guide recommends broadcasting 30 to 49 pounds of veed per acre on new land, 20 to 30 pounds for peas or well-prepared land, and inoculation when sown on land not inoculated. May peas can avoid inoculation for Austrian peas. In the Mountains and Piedmont, 200 pounds of 20-104 on good soils or 200 pounds of 4-104 on poorer soils.
