Bareground

142  Broadcast 50 to 100 lbs nitrogen per acre and the recommended phosphate and potash and work into the soil prior to planting.  Sidedress with 25 to 50 lbs nitrogen per acre 3 to 4 weeks after planting, and then again 6 to 8 weeks later.

241  This is a boron sensitive crop.  Apply with broadcast fertilizer 1 or 2 lbs boron per acre.  (When soil test boron is not excessive)

652  The soil test manganese is low, however, this is not a manganese sensitive crop, therefore no manganese is recommended.  (When soil test manganese is low)

Plasticulture

143  Broadcast 50 lbs nitrogen per acre and the recommended phosphate and potash and work into the soil prior to planting.  Fertigate with 95 lbs nitrogen and 140 lbs potash if soil test potassium is low and 70 lbs potash if soil test potassium is medium.
