41  For ryegrass and crimson clover mixtures, make 3 equal nitrogen applications.  In early fall, apply no more than 60 lbs nitrogen per acre.  In the spring, a third nitrogen application will increase total yield and length of grazing period when ryegrass is present.  When arrow leaf clover or hairy vetch is seeded with small grain, apply all of the nitrogen (60-100 lbs nitrogen per acre) at planting.

 

50  Inoculate the legume seed at planting.

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)

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