131  Broadcast 25 to 50 lbs nitrogen per acre and the recommended phosphate and potash and work into the soil prior to planting. Sidedress with 50 lbs nitrogen per acre when vines start to run.  Apply 25 to 50 lbs nitrogen per acre through the irrigation system.

241  This is a boron sensitive crop.  Apply with the broadcast fertilizer 1 to 2 lbs boron per acre.  (When soil test boron is not excessive)

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)
