I did my soil test. Followed the lime recommendations about 2 months ago. Now with planting time coming, I need recommendations on on fertilizer. I might be able to use the buggy, but I doubt it. Here are the recommendations per the soil tests per acre

Nitrogen 425
Phosphate 215
Potash 430
Magnesium 85
Zinc 8
Manganese 10

My question Is what would be the best mix? It will be on about 5 acres total.

425# per acre of N?

Yes. Per recommendations on the soil test.

What are you trying to plant on, a nuclear waste site? That soil test is calling for 1200 total lbs per acre if what you wrote is correct........ I’ve got to say, I think something is wrong somewhere.

The recommendation was based on corn. If that helps

It’s sandy loam soil. Formerly in 35 year old pines. Clear cut 2 years ago

Results as follows

Phosphorus was 37
Potassium was 51
Magnesium 39
Calcium 225
Zinc 0.8
Manganese 14

The ph was 5.3. Maybe this will help.

You must have put a 400 bushel per acre yield goal. That’s insanely high and no way would fertility for fall plots call for near that much

It’s showing a 350 bushel yield

I realize this ain’t the victory garden. But according to the other fertilizer post if I just throw triple 13, triple 17, or triple 19 all is ok.

Thats alot of N

If that's what it needs I think putting your wallet back in your pocket is the best call. Purchase that bait license and find some under $4 a bushel corn.

That’s sort of my thing. Truth be known, getting the ph up will do wonders alone. This is also on my privately owned property, it doesn’t all have to all be done at once. It’s a work in progress. I’m just wondering what the Aldeer guru’s would recommend.

For just fall plots I’d recommend 50-60 units of N total. 30-50 units of P and same on K. Split the N half at plant half topdress mid-late November

You need about 2 tons of chicken litter per acre for a couple of years.

Yea that’ll work too. But your turkeys will all die

I just got my soil test back as well. I had three different pounds per acre recommendations on different plots. PH was good, we limed 2 years ago.

N/Phos/K

60/80/40
60/40/60
60/0/40

Can I satisfy all of those needs with the same type of fertilizer or do I need to get three different kinds?

First question is size of each plot?

Highest recommendation from soil test I've had was 100 lbs/acre of nitrogen and that was for corn

Split the difference and do 350 lbs of 17-17-17 per acre will get you 59.5/59.5/59.5.
