RE: Understanding Fertility
This year I had to add 900 #'s of 0-46-0
and 300 #'s of 0-0-62 per plot
and 300 #'s of 0-0-62 per plot
P & K are rather immobile in the soil, they do not leach away like Nitrogen, and should be incorporated into the soil to be fully utilized.

RE: Understanding Fertility
Stone...indeed follow the recs...what you want to try to accomplish is to raise those test resultsOVER IME...not like tomorrow!! When you add the fertilizer, there are soil chemistry reactions that take place that break down the material slowly into componants that are refered to as "available" in soil science terms...so add what your tests show and ...personal opinion based on experience...I would test soils again in two years...that gives your material time to become available and will save you time and money in the long run.
