Amonium Nitrate application rate (???)
Here's info from Florida's Cooperative Extension regarding fertilization
http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/SS318 I was taught to use a 10-10-10 or 16-16-16 for turf as everything needs to be balanced. When using just nitrogen, you'll be greening the turf and encouraging growth but not providing a balanced "diet". I've purchased a triple 10 or triple 16 for less than 10$ for a 10 lb bag.... so it definitely won't break the break. Some of the fertilizers are outrageously overpriced. Good luck Nicole "D.Reid" wrote in message ... Hello to all. I live in North Florida and have a 3 acre yard. A mixed variety of grasses from Floratam to burmuda to Bahaiha (sp). I would like to green it up a bit without going broke and ammonium nitrate was recommended to me. Analysis is 34-0-0. I located and bought some today but there was no application instructions on the bag. I ask the young man helping load it how much to use and he didnt know. Regular fertilizer, say...10-10-10 goes on at about a pound per 100 square feet (10'x10') or 10 lbs. per 1000 square feet as I understand the label directions. It seems a little bit of this stuff (amonium nitrate) goes a long way. Anyone care to throw some numbers on the table as per pounds per say...a thousand square feet (10' x 100'). I would apreciate any input. Thank you for your time. Dave In Florida |
