Silage corn makes excellent feed for dairy cattle because of its high dry-matter yield, energy content, and palatability, especially when mixed with other feed. Also, it does not accumulate potassium as do many
cool-season grass species. Nitrogen (N) is the most yield-limiting nutrient for silage corn production. Most dairies in...
Recommendations in this nutrient management guide apply to spring or winter canola (Brassica napus or Brassica rapa) grown under irrigated or dryland management in rotation with a variety of crops. Recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, zinc, boron, and lime are covered in this guide.
A comprehensive approach to nutrient management will help you ensure availability of optimum levels of nutrients for tree growth. Components of a comprehensive nutrient management strategy include:
• Soil analysis before planting (useful in predicting the need for potassium, magnesium, or lime applications)
• Observations of annual shoot growth, leaf...
Observations of annual growth and size and color of leaves and fruit are helpful in determining fertilizer needs. In addition, leaf analysis
indicates which elements are present in adequate, deficient, or excessive amounts. Soil analysis is useful in predicting the need for lime applications. Suspect a nutrient deficiency if poor...
