Recommendations:
| Recommended pH: | 6.0. If the pH is less than 6.0, see Lime Table C. | ||||||||
| Nitrogen: | 0 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 establishment of fescue, apply 20 to 40 pounds nitrogen per acre at time of seeding. Seed fescue in the fall of year 1 and white clover in the fall of year 2. No nitrogen should be applied in the fall when clover is planted. This will allow the white clover seedlings to compete with the fescue. Thereafter, no nitrogen is needed since white clover should provide adequate nitrogen.
If the legume represents less than 15% of the stand, treat as a grass stand. In this case consult your local County Extension Agent for appropriate recommendation. (Ask for Fescue Pasture Recommendation.)
