PROPER FERTILIZATION
IMPROVES FORAGE YIELOt
Oood fertilizer practices ai'e
essential if forage crop yields are
to improve from their preset-if
poop levels in Ontario.
Mr. R,us Johnston, Soil's, Divis4
ion, Ridgetown College of Agri-
cultural Technology, told delegates
to the 1971 South-western Ontario
Farmers' Week that even the best
management would get poor for-
age yields if fertilizers were not
applied.
"On. Class 1 'and. Class 2 land",
said Mr. Johnston, "forages (:;171
only produce about SO% of the
TDN per acre that corn can pro-
duce. However, on the other laud,:
forages 01111 out-produce corn".
Under similar fertility 1' 111-
ditions top Malia yields were
between 11,000 and 12.500 pounds
per acre of dry matter at Ridge.,•
town, while corn yields were be,
twRen 12.000 and 14.000 pounds of
dry matter, he said.
The main consideration in for-
age production a're proper soil pH,
nitrogen (where the stand is
mainly grass), phosphorus and
potassium. Soil pH should be be-
tween 6.0 and S.O to obtain good
establishment.
Forages should be band-seeded
lit planting. Nitrogen and phos-
phorus are most iMpOrtant at this
tirite. If soils are testing medium
or slightly lower, 150 pounds per
acre ) of 1S-40-0 or 13-52:-0 is
sufficient, said Mr. Johnston.
Ii potassium, count. is down
use 8-2240 or 6-24-24. Where the
soil test is high. there is no need
to exceed 100 ppa of amonia phos-
phate. The total .requirem.ent of
phosphorus for a three- to four-
year period can be broadcast and
worked in before pia atlng , Some
phosphorus should be retained for
planting.
Unless the phosphorus test, is
medinm or below. no further in-
creases from broadcast phos-
phorus should be expected.
Legume forages are heavy
potassium feeders, and applied
phosphorus gets good results.
• One aplication a year is sufficient.
Further yield increases should not
be expected when soil tests read
high or phis higt, A small early
September application may in-
crease winterhardineSs and lon-
gevity of the stand.
Nitrogen is only required by
pure grass stands, or where a,
legume makes up loss than one
third of the stands, For pure grass
standS. at least, 120 poundsy of
nitrogen Should be used per acre
and should be applied at least
