Medium-Nitrogen Option

Apply 100 lb N/A in the early spring.

Apply 25 lb P2O5/A if your soil tests Very Low or Low in P and tissue P concentration is below 0.15%. Do not apply P if tissue P concentration is at or above 0.15%, even if the soil tests Very Low or Low in P. For Medium and High soil P levels, neither P application nor tissue analysis is recommended since there will be no added benefit of P fertilization on bahiagrass yields.

Apply 50 lb K2O/A if your soil tests Very Low or Low in K and none if it tests Medium or High.
