[QUOTE="Dave, post: 171195, member: 498"] Grass hay removes about 4 to 8 pounds of P per ton. Pasture even less because most of the P taken up in the grass is returned through the manure. You are going to remove a lot of grass before you need more P. Raising your soil pH will make even more P available. If you buy any commercial fertilizer I would make sure it has a 0 for the second number and I wouldn't apply any manure to the field that tested 404. This wont hurt the grass or the livestock and you can grow it out of the soil but it is going to take a long while. Just curious but what was this field used for in the past? Dave [/QUOTE]
