South Dakota | I am in SD and have never needed lime. But on this one field it is calling for it.
As I really respect your advice which lime should I be using?
Soil Test Results;
P 37ppm
K 319ppm
mg 496ppm
ca 2361 ppm
na 47ppm
org matter 3.6%
PH (0-6") 5.8
buffer PH 6.4
Recommended lime is 3 tons but agvise lab says reduce lime by 1/2 for SD
CEC 22.5
base saturation
ca 52.4 mg 18.4 k 3.6 na 0.9 h 24.7
Based on a 180bu yield goal and P & K calling for just a band of 15# and 10#
As the Ca in the base saturation is low do I use hi cal lime?
Also as the K level is high but the base saturation K is a little low would more K help
or would I be wasting money? | |
