13  This is a manganese sensitive crop.  Apply 10 lbs manganese per acre with the fertilizer when manganese deficiency has been observed in previous years.  When manganese
deficiency symptoms occur, confirm by a plant analysis. Apply manganese as a foliar spray either singularly or mixed with a pesticide.  Make one or two applications of 1 lb manganese
per acre. 

128  Broadcast 25 to 50 lbs nitrogen per acre and the recommended phosphate and potash fertilizer and work into the soil prior to planting.  Band-place 20 lbs nitrogen per acre with planter at planting.  Sidedress with 25 to 40 lbs nitrogen per acre 3 to 5 weeks after emergence.

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