• A good name to grow by
If you haven't fertilized your hay fields
by now, you're 3 weeks behind
GET ITDONENOW!!!
- Legume' seed is very expensive, so it °
pays to fertilize .properly for
a long lasting stand.
Many Growers have been asking lately -
"WHAT IS WINTERKILL?"
Winter kill is essentially 4 things:
1. It is heaving. Freezing - and - thawing soil literally
heaves plants from the earth, breaking and exposing roots.
2. It is smothering. Plants can't breathe, actually smother
from ice sheets formed over the soil, with Kittle snow cover.
A fast-breathingylant will choke on toxic by products of its
own respiration when those toxins can't get out.
3. It is drought. .Plants can't get enough to drink from "a
frozen soil that is like a dry soil.
4. It is rupture. Plant cells ruj5ture as the plant freezes, its
cells loose water and ice crystals form in the plant tissue
and rupture cell walls.
How does fall fertilization winterize a crop? ,
Adequate fertility lowers the freezing point of cell sap,
insures stronger roots, and reduces respiration and water
loss.
With the adequate moisture we received this past summer,
hay yieids were excellent. Be sulk to replace your soil
inventories of phosphorous and potassium.
