Recommendations:
| Recommended pH: | 6.0. If the pH is less than 6.0, see Lime Table C. | ||||||||
| Nitrogen: | 150-250 pounds nitrogen (N) per acre | ||||||||
| Magnesium: | If soil test Mg level is low and lime is recommended, use dolomitic limestone; if soil test Mg is low and lime is not recommended, apply 25 pounds of Mg/Acre.

Fact Sheet:
For pastures not intensively grazed, apply 150 to 200 pounds nitrogen per acre. For intensively grazed pastures apply 200 to 250 pounds nitrogen per acre. Apply phosphate (P2O5) and potash (K2O) as recommended above. Split the fertilizer application applying half in early spring and the remainder in mid-summer. NOTE: Under intensive management conditions 3 equal applications of fertilizer applied at 6-week intervals may prove to be more effective.
