Have a lightly mixed alf/mixed grass field. Been improving it the last few years with soil samples and applying recommenced nutrients, (and cutting higher than the last tender of the field was), but they never suggest Nitrogen. Boron and Phosph., can't remember what all, but we put it on and it's getting better.
We're getting ready to cut and I keep reading how about how much nutrients you pull with each harvest, and although this field has some alfalfa in it, I don't think it's enough to replace the N coming out. I think it's at most 20% alfalfa, is that anywhere near enough to keep N levels up? Strangely, the soil sample we took did not list the N level, and I thought that very odd.
Seems like you want to apply right after cutting, so want to be ready. Info on liquid vs granular application helpful too.
Thanks very much for any help.
