[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1847788, member: 8993"] The needs for a hayfield are much different than for pasture. Potash is taken up in a hayfield but returned to the soil in pasture. Almost never need to add any of the 3rd number for pasture but rarely does anyone put enough of it for hayfields. I used 18-46-0 on my pasture. Just spread it Sunday. But the soil test will truly tell whats needed. Fescue will respond very good to proper fertilization. Another point, Nitrogen works very quick but only lasts about 90 days. P&K will last longer but could take 3 to 4 months to fully work. We should be spreading P&K in the fall and Nitrogen in the spring. [/QUOTE]
