A ton of forage has approximate-
ly 50 pounds of nitrogen, 40 pounds
of potassium and 10 pounds of
phosphorus.
Without these nutrients a ton of
forage simply will not be produced.
Most soils in Texas only have
enough nitrogen to produce one to
two tons of forage.
Of the improved grasses now
being used, most were selected for
improvements in yield due mainly
to their response to fertilization.
Without adequate fertilization,
these grasses lose their advantage
over native grasses. Although
grasses need 16 essential plant
nutrients, the main response comes
from the application of nitrogen.
Proper forage fertilization with
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassi-
um will double or triple yield.
Increased nitrogen will increase
the forage's protein percentage
Proper nitrogen fertilization will
promote a high quality, leafy
growth from grasses. Providing
adequate rainfall occurs, nitrogen
fertilizer will promote grass grow th
when it was needed for livestock.
Proper fertilization can reduce the
cost of producing a ton of forage
The amount of fertilizer to use
per acre depends on the amount of
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassi-
um in the soil, the desired
production level (tori/acre, stock-
ing rate), and whether the pasture
will be used for hay, grazing or
both.
A regular soil testing program is
the only way to tell exactly what
level of fertilizer to use. Soil test
should be taken every second or
third year, and fertilization should
be based on the results.
As a rule of thumb, put out all
the required lime, phosphorus, and
potassium at time during the year
Then fertilize with at least 50
pounds of actual nitrogen per acre
(100 pounds urea, 175 pounds
ammonium nitrate, 250 pounds
ammonium sulfate per acre) after
each hay cutting or two to three
times during the grazing cycle.
