Fall and Spring Fertilization Boost Wheat Yields
The Middle West Soil Improvement Committee says full fall fertilization with nitrogen phosphate and potash, plus spring top dressing, increases wheat per acre and yields in legume grass rotations. Phosphate and potash strengthen roots, help harden wheat for winter, and support more heads and kernels. Alfalfa and sweet clover in the mix improve soil organic matter and drainage, boosting long term soil health.
