It Will Pay to Put Nitrogen on Bromegrass Stand
Bromegrass grown for seed needs large nitrogen. Extension agronomist Marvin Anderson of Iowa State College recommends applying 40 to 60 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre, especially where no legume is present and the land has not grown a legume for 1 to 2 years. That equals 120–180 pounds of ammonium nitrate per acre. Nitrogen can be applied in spring or fall with similar responses.
