Subject: How Much P & K for "building Soils?


South Eastern VA
So I have a little patch I want to really build up my P & K levels. For next years corn crop my soils test calls for 100lbs P and 60lbs K. The soil is about 8-10 inches of sand and has clay below that. Had soybeans this year on it and as of now there is a good thick cover of annual ryegrass and tillage radish growing on it. Its just a little 4 acre field so we aren't talking about thousands of pounds of product but I do own it so I am looking for the long term affect here.

So how much would you guys put down? I was thinking double test recommendation ? I will probably be spreading within the next couple of weeks or so.

Calcium is also a little low so it will get lime put to it before corn gets planted.


Thanks for any input.
