Fall is
COLLEGE PARK - Fall is a
good season to apply fertilizer to
farm fields for several important
reasons.
Once com and soybean har
vesting is finished, farm work
moves at a more leisurely pace
and fields are usually firmer than
they will be in the spring.
In addition, fertilizer dealers
often offer fall discount prices,
notes V. Allan Bandel, Extension
Fertilizer specialist and professor
of agronomy at the University of
Maryland in College Park.
For Maryland conditions, fall
fertilizer applications should
contain little or no nitrogen,
Bandel cautions. About the only

fine time to fertilize crops
place where nitrogen, should even
be considered is for fall-seeded
crops, notably small grain. Typical
application rates in this situation
would be 15-60-60 or 20-80-80
(pounds of nitrogen, phosphate and
potash per acre).
Relatively mild winter weather
most years throughout much of the
state makes nitrogen subject to
serious leaching and
denitrification losses even when
nitrification inhibitors are applied.
Fall is also an excellent time to
fertilize alfalfa, since this high
quality forage is a heavy feeder of
phosphorus and especially
potassium, which plays an im
portant role in promoting winter
hardiness of alfalfa and other
plants, including small grain.

alfalfa in the spring have been
shown to improve hay quality,
Bandel reports. But University of
Maryland research tests have
produced no yield advantage for a
split application in the spring over
a single application in the fall.
Plowing down fertilizer in the
fall is not recommended in
Maryland, except under con
ventional tillage situations where
wintertime water and wind erosion
are not a problem.
In any case, be sure to take
proper soil samples and have them
analyzed before applying fertilizer
or lime, Bandel emphasizes. No
tillage fields should be tested every
year. Fields where crop rotation is
practiced should be tested once per
rotation cycle.
