4  Apply 100­-150 lbs magnesium sulfate, or 20-30 lbs magnesium oxide, or 90-140 lbs sulfate-of-potash-magnesium per acre, or a mixed fertilizer to supply 10-15 lbs magnesium per acre.  (When the soil test magnesium is low, and for Soil Codes 1, 2, or 3 when the soil pH is greater than 6.5, or for Soil Code 4 when the soil pH is greater than 7.0, or for Soil Code 6 when the soil pH is greater than 6.0) 

5  Apply 100­-150 lbs magnesium sulfate, or 20-30 lbs magnesium oxide, or 90-140 lbs sulfate-of-potash-magnesium per acre or a mixed fertilizer to supply 10-15 lbs magnesium per acre, or by applying 1,000 lbs dolomitic limestone per acre.  (When the soil test magnesium is low, and for Soil Codes 1, 2, or 3 when the soil pH is between 5.9 and 6.6, or for Soil Code 4 when the soil pH is between 5.9 and 7.1, or for Soil Code 6 when the soil pH is 6.0)
