There are conflicting opinions on applying nitrogen in the Fall.
Some say that top growth is always at the expense of the roots and roots need plenty of reserves going into winter to sustain itself til spring.
Nitrogen can be applied in fall. Late fall applications of nitrogen, from October through November, will increase grass tillering, root growth, and energy storage. This will help with spring green-up and improve competition against weeds. Apply after grass growth has slowed, but before the plant has gone dormant. Use a low rate of 30 to 40 lbs. of N per acre.
