[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 750232, member: 1715"] One key point is what is limiting growth. If you don't have moisture, or you need to add several nutrients, then fertilizer is not cost effective. A second key point is what are your other options. If you can rent pasture cheaply then fertilizer is not cost effective. A third point is when and what. The time of year and the type of forage really effects the response. Not sure what your native is. Improved pasture usually responses more. A fourth point is re cyle of the fertilizer input. P & K will cycle back around much more than N. So the complicated answer is it depends on when and where... :???: Do a test strip if you really what to know. I usually apply a hit of N and S annually before green up, occasionally apply a little P or K if one is limiting, and apply a little clover seed where needed. Then I de stock if things don't work out as planned. [/QUOTE]
