Billybob soil test 2017

[Billybob]

Results from soil test. Been applying encap lime @ 9 Lbs/1000 every 90 days since 2015.

Been applying Serenade past 3 years, seems to be working. Had a brown patch issue in summer.

My fertilizer is mainly milo and soybean meal which I apply a few times a month up til Memorial Day. Also couple apps of crack corn @ 20 Lbs/1000.

I spoon feed Urea @ .5 nitrogen/ 1000 weekly in fall.

Forgot to mention it's a 2500 sqft area

Thanks

Right smack down the middle of a Loam soil, and with very nice OM numbers -- I'm impressed.

In the cations, things are good except for a Potassium shortage. Since the Phosphorus is OK, this means you have the unenviable job of locating Sulfate of Potash (SOP, 0-0-50). You'll need to apply that monthly at 2 lbs/K until September. No more lime.

Iron is very good.

In the micro’s, it’s only Boron. Get Twenty Mule Team Laundry Soap from the grocery and apply it at three tablespoons/K every 60 days. Read the Micronutrient Application Guide for application specifics.

For Nitrogen, stay with your plan.

Pretty easy, huh?

That's great to hear.... been pretty religious with the lime and not one leave escaped last fall.

I'm gonna do an app @ half bag rate of 0-0-7 .15 Dimension this week. That extra potash ok?

[Billybob]

Gonna retract the Dimension question......

Thanks for the reading...

When it comes to Boron is it applied every 60 days til ground is frozen?

[andy10917]

Yeah. End of the Growing season or freeze.
