biosolid fertilizer it has 0.0005 molybdenum do you think it's safe for a pasture. It's certified 100% quality and organic nitrogen. It's a slow release Thanks

How many pounds to acre? It's gonna take alot at that blend.

I'm not sure how many pounds per acre. But I have 2 free tons.

Its free and don't see where it would hurt anything. Free must be in vogue this year because I got several tons of potash spread for nothing a few weeks ago. Didn't really need it but the price was right.

My experience with fertilizer is that it will remain in the soil until it's consumed. Proven that axiom many times. On organic "poop" I guess you are talking about I wouldn't worry. 5% of 4000# is 200/5 ac = 40#N per acre.....not all that much. A corn or sorghum crop would eat up more than that. I'd put more than that out for a good 3 cutting hay crop.

I would try to incorporate it so that it doesn't get washed away with a heavy rain.

Molybdenum is a health concern in an industrial setting but not in a fertilizer at ten thousandth levels.

I have molybdenum mixed with my P/S fertiliser every year, not sure at what rate the molyb is mixed at. We have low P soils which are often low in molyb. . The molybd. is needed by the legumes to nodulate and produce the N.

Ken. We have high P soils but low moly. Moly is an important trace mineral.

Thanks that is what I was thinking. Didn't know for sure.
