Spring Fertilization and Field Care for Pastures
Farmers are advised to apply nitrogen fertilizer to grass pastures and hay fields in late February and early March to boost green-up and yield. Without fertilizer, fields stay less green and recover slower from mowing and heat. Avoid soil compaction by delaying field work until soils dry, then apply 400 lb acre of 10 10 10 if soil tests are unavailable, and use broadleaf herbicides like 2 4 D and Banvel when weeds are actively growing after temperatures exceed 60 F.
