Remember when using trip-19 on clover, clover doesn't need the N and it is sort of a waste of money. That said, if it is all you can get, you plan on overseeding a N loving crop into it later in the fall, or you don't have a coop nearby that can custom mix it for you, it will be fine to use trip-19, guys do it ALL the time. But, if you have a coop near you, you could maybe(?)save a few bucks? You could have them mix a custom blend of DAP(18-46-0, so it has the N in it anyway) and potash(Potassium chloride, 0-0-60). If you need more N for a nitrogen loving crop like brassicas, you can just apply the proper amount of urea to make up for any extra N your individual plots need, that way you are not wasting money putting extra N on crops that do not need it. Mo might be able to speak to some of this as well.I'm still waiting on the email giving me more specific fertilizer recommendations but they did include a link to a calculator. If I input the numbers correctly it appears that in the neighborhood 300 pounds of triple 19 per 1/2 acre area would be appropriate. I'll put that down in the spring on the clover plots and in the fall when I disc the other areas before seeding unless you guys have better suggestions. So roughly $300 in fertilizer cost plus the cost of lime. Since I'm planning on doing the lime in thirds between 800 and 1000 lbs per 1/2 acre per application will work. It'll be nice to be able to spread both the cost and the work out a little if I'm figuring this right.
;) Wasn't really for my benefit Mike, but thanks! I already knew about the ones from UofM and UofK, had not seen the UofG one though. Links to stuff like this should be posted any time someone finds it, as it only benefits the whole forum to have this type of resource readily available without having to "google" it every time.
