Soil Fertility Guidance for Stine Dress and Pasture Nitrogen
Agricultural notes advise applying 300 to 500 pounds per acre of 0-20-0 on Stine dress. On other soils use 300 to 500 pounds of 0-14-7 or 0-12-12, especially where potash is low. For fields with adequate phosphate, potash, and lime, adding 20 to 30 pounds of nitrogen per acre can pay on many farms. If grazing has started, apply nitrogen but keep cattle off until pasture recovery.
Recommendations urge immediate fertilizer on pastures
The guidance suggests applying fertilizer without delay to pastures and meadows to increase hay yield. It emphasizes same recommendations as before but with a focus on urgent application to improve production.
