Feedback for annual application regimen
I'm trying to develop an annual application regimen. Overload of info so I'm just trying to get a rough outline
Apply pre emergent in spring
Apply 2-4 apps of milo in spring and fall
Apply blsc + kh every couple weeks
Apply post emergent in early summer/fall as needed
Apply extra quick release fert app in fall
Just make sure your annual n does not exceed 5lbs/k
1. Is there anything MISSING?
2. Is there anything that should be DIFFERENT.
Thank you for your time and feedback. I appreciate the help.

My thoughts, " hmm ok he must be trying to tell me that's not true"
I'm referring to the average annual nitrogen requirements for cool season grasses.
Are you saying I misinterpreted this? Throw me a bone.

Re: Feedback for annual application regimen
Let's look at the words (I'm not just playing semantics):
"Requirements" mean the amount that the grass needs to be healthy and growing. It is not a synonym for "limit", which would imply a maximum amount. I know of no limit other than your wallet, as long as you apply it in a responsible way (no leaching or runoff). Additional Nitrogen can increase growth and color. I've applied 8 lbs/K annual regularly and 10 lbs/K annual in a year when I was doing both the Philes and the Fall Fertilization Aggressive regimens. Growth was phenomenal.
Be careful and don't overthink things - it's very easy to build and honor imaginary rules that limit what it is possible, and turn a fun hobby into a rule-laden bore.
