Fall nitrogen and phosphate strategies for soil fertility
The soils and crops branch advises fall nitrogen application to stubble crops to boost next year’s grain yield. It recommends 40 pounds of nitrogen per acre, with ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate or anhydrous ammonia as options, and notes phosphate blends are needed in spring if nitrogen is used in fall. Grass and seed crops respond well to nitrogen, with ammonium nitrate or 27-14-0 as economical choices, and benefits extend over several years due to improved root development.
