How much fertilizer do I need to use?
Utilize 100 lbs. per 1/4 acre of 19-19-19 for Switchgrass and PlotScreen. Utilize 40 lbs. per 1/4 acre of 19-19-19 for Brassicas, Wintergreens and Turnips. For Clover, use 100 lbs. per acre of 0-20-20.
LIME: 1000lbs per 1/4 acre IF PH LEVELS ARE <4.5 or as recommended by your soil sample
How do I prepare the seed bed?
Spray overgrown plots with Glyphosate 2-3 weeks prior to your planned discing date. Utilize a disc, chain rake or any means available to disturb the soil. This will provide ample seed-to-soil contact, resulting in optimal germination.
