Justification


  1. Compare K-Mag with current IFAS standard recommendations. Data will be evaluated in terms of forage yield, quality, and elemental composition.
  2. Sample test plot soils to 120 cm (4 ft) depth in order to determine temporal soil fertility changes with increasing soil depth.
  3. Evaluate plant nutrient requirements based on tissue analysis of harvested dry matter.
