Using Neptune's Harvest Fish Fertilizer or Fish & Seaweed
Fertilizer on hay and pasture
Pasture Application
Rates:
For optimal results, we
recommend spraying:
- 2 - 3 gallons as soon as you can get out on field
- For the first two applications, it would be best to
apply 3 gallons X 30 gallons water per acre. This could also depend
on the quality of your soil.
[Note: After the
initial two applications you could cut back to 2 gallons X 20 gallons water to
maintain]
- Recommended fertilizing is every 21 days or when the
grass/hay has been grazed down and/or when the animals are rotated
NOTE: Minimum applications for
pasture - Every 4 to 6 weeks still shows good results with 3 gallons per acre
***************************************************
Hay Application Rates:
For optimal results, we
recommend spraying:
- Two Gallons X 20 gallons water - when hay first comes
out of dormancy
- Another 2 gallons (x 20 gal. water) 2
weeks prior to cutting - if possible
- Spray 2 gallons (x 20 gal. water) a
few days after each cutting - when the hay gets up to about 2 to 4 inches
high and then apply 2 gallons after every cut thereafter, and 2 gallons 2
weeks prior to cutting. This 2nd application, before cutting will really
increase your RFV (relative feed value) and make the hay very nutrient
dense. Animals will eat about ½ the hay when feed with the Fish
Fertilizer, compared to Chemical Fertilizer, or no Fertilizer.
NOTE: For best results, try using
higher amounts of fish on poor soil in the beginning, to help the overall
health of the hay/pasture, this method will also help you achieve maximum
results.
** Important
Information:
Always add a Minimum of 10 gallons of water
to 1 gallon of fish fertilizer.
