(Recommended)

A target pH of 6.0 is recommended for most Agronomic crops. However, a lime recommendation for pH 6.5 is also provided on
this soil test report. Liming to pH 6.5 helps reduce low pH areas in highly variable fields.
*For information on how the Soil, Plant, and Water Laboratory measures and reports pH and makes lime recommendations, see
http://aesl.ces.uga.edu/soil/SoilpH.html.
*For establishment, apply 20 to 50 pounds nitrogen per acre.
*When grazed adjust nitrogen (N) rate according to stocking rate. If 2 acres per cow, apply 50 pounds nitrogen per acre; 1 acre per
cow, increase the rate to 100 pounds nitrogen per acre.
*When harvested for hay as well as grazed, apply 100 pounds nitrogen per acre, applying half in early fall and the remainder in
early spring. Increase the potassium application by 20 pounds potash per acre, and apply phosphate (P2O5) as recommended.
Where grass tetany (magnesium deficiency in animals) may be a problem, split the nitrogen and potash fertilizer applications. If
the potassium soil test level is very high do not apply potash fertilizer. If the soil magnesium level is low, magnesium should be
added to the animal diet.
NOTE: The amount of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P2O5), and potash (K2O) actually applied may deviate 10 pounds per acre from
that recommended without appreciably affecting yields.
