118      Two cups (1 pint) fertilizer is equal to approximately 1 pound.  Three-quarter pint limestone weights approximately 1 pound.

470   Prior to setting plants, broadcast recommended limestone to correct low soil pH and then broadcast 4 lbs triple superphosphate (0-46-0) and 3 lbs muriate of potash (0-0-60) per 1,000 square feet and mix to a depth of 6 inches.

         Once established (1-year-old for fall planted and 6 to 8 months old for spring planted) in the early stages of growth, follow these procedures:

For Fall Plantings:

When growth begins in the spring, broadcast 3 lbs 10-10-10 per 1,000 square feet, and then immediately after harvest, broadcast 1 lb 10-10-10 per 1,000 square feet.

For Spring Plantings:

In mid-June and late September, broadcast 3 lb 10-10-10 per 1,000 square feet. Apply fertilizer when the plant foliage is dry.

Second and Succeeding Years:

Broadcast 3 lbs 10-10-10 per 1,000 square feet in mid July and then in mid to late September.  Just prior to the beginning of growth in late winter, broadcast 1 lb 10-10-10 per 1.000 square feet.  Continue this schedule for the life of the planting.

         (Recommendation when phosphorus and potassium soil tests are L-L, L-M, L-S, M-L, M-M, M-S)

471   Prior to setting plants, broadcast recommended limestone to correct low soil pH and then broadcast 4 lbs triple superphosphate (0-46-0) per 1,000 square feet and mix to a depth of 6 inches.

         Once established (1-year-old for fall planted and 6 to 8 months old for spring planted) in the early stages of growth, follow these procedures:

For Fall Plantings:

When growth begins in the spring, broadcast 1 lb 34-0-0 or equivalent fertilizer per 1,000 square feet, and then immediately after harvest, apply ½ lb 34-0-0 per 1,000 square feet.

For Spring Plantings:

In mid-June and late September, broadcast 1 lb 34-0-0 or equivalent fertilizer per 1,000 square feet.  Apply fertilizer when the plant foliage is dry.

Second and Succeeding Years:

         Broadcast 1 lb 34-0-0 or equivalent fertilizer per 1,000 square feet in mid July and then in mid to late September.  Just prior to the beginning of growth in late winter, broadcast 1/2 lb 34-0-0 or equivalent fertilizer per 1,000 square feet.  Continue this schedule for the life of the planting.
