Fertilizer:
Due to varying soil conditions and types it is neccessary to conduct a
soil test each year in order to supply the proper nutrients. Apply
20-30 lbs. of nitrogen at planting time. When the new plants start to
run, apply 50-60 lbs. of nitrogen. After the stand is established,
apply 70-100 lbs. of nitrogen after each cutting.
Management:
If grazed, apply up to 150 lbs. of nitrogen per year in split
applications throughout the summer. Last fertilizer application each
year should be done 4 to 6 weeks before a killing frost to increase
cold tolerance. Delay grazing until forage is 8" to 10" tall. Do not
graze or clip for hay shorter than 2". Rotate animals more often during
periods of drought stress.
