45  Broadcast recommended phosphate and potash fertilizer and 60-100 lbs nitrogen per acre when growth begins in the spring and 60-100 lbs nitrogen per acre after each harvest.  With four harvests, applying 240 lbs nitrogen per acre should produce 4 to 5 tons hay per acre and applying 400 lbs nitrogen per acre should produce 6 to 7 tons per acre on good coastal sod
in years with normal rainfall.  To reduce chances of winter kill, split the potash application, one-half in the spring and one-half after the second or third clipping.  All the phosphate may be applied in the spring or at the same time potash is applied.
