TOPDRESSING f
SMALL GRAINS? WliiSttf
Nitrogen topdressing your Barley, Rye, or Wheat in late February to
early March increases tillering when these small grains end winter
dormancy. Nitrate nitrogen is the nitrogen source utilized by all
plants, all other sources must be.reduced to nitrates by.action of soil
organisms before they are available for plant use.
Nitrate nitrogen also will not evaporate as other forms tend to do
when used as a topdressing material yet it is available for plant use
at low temperatures. Ammonium nitrate contains 33.5% nitrogen -
half of which is in nitrate form. Order your ammonium nitrate today
