Bareground

124  Broadcast 40 to 100 lbs nitrogen per acre and the recommended phosphate and potash and work into the soil prior to planting.  Band place with the planter 10 to 14 days after
planting, 20 to 30 lbs nitrogen, 25 lbs phosphate and 25 lbs potash per acre.  Sidedress with 20 to 30 lbs nitrogen per acre when vines begin to run.

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)

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)
