[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 341440, member: 2960"] I got a lost a little bit in all that... Are you skeptical of the Ag Extension recommending 95 lbs ea. for N,P, and K? Or, are you skeptical of the guy at the coop who mentioned that they have 17-17-17, but suggested a custom blend with split applications of 50-100-50 (he rounded up from 95), then 50-0-50. Or, are you skeptical that I've just created numbers and threw them on this board to waste both our time? (BTW, I assure you it's not this one) Again, reading tells me that bermuda uses N-P-K at a ratio of 4-1-3. I'm not refuting that and I'm willing to fertilize according to that. I'm assuming, the first fertilizer application is calling for so much P and K because it is correcting existing deficiencies (watch the spelling on that one!). [b]My real issue is with the 50 lbs of N he wants to put down now. Am I most likely to lose it to volatilization and leaching, or is it likely to be there waiting when the bermuda comes out of dormancy? [/b] There's some grass (very short) that's green underneath the bermuda. I assume that it's ryegrass, but I don't know. Will all of the N applied early go to that grass? [/QUOTE]
