Recommendations:
| Recommended pH: | 6.0. If the pH is less than 6.0, see Lime Table C. | ||||||||
| Nitrogen: | 75-175 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 75 to 125 pounds nitrogen per acre. For intensively grazed pastures apply 125 to 175 pounds nitrogen per acre.
If excess forage is common under grazing conditions, split the pasture in half and apply nitrogen to only one section in March, and to the remaining apply nitrogen in July or August, dependent upon the amount of forage that will be utilized.
