[QUOTE="cowboysupper, post: 7105639, member: 711"] That is what I had in my head but at the same time have found no evidence to back it up. The contractor has spread 4t acre before on land he purchased with poor fertility and saw no ill effects. Our department of agriculture thinks the 3t/acre max rate was always an economic argument rather than having any effect on soil chemistry, but they're going to double check with their soil scientist. The soil mapping company says it's personal preference whether we want to whack it all on or split it. It's just one of those things. The book says apply no more than 3t/acre but then when you start asking questions about why this is it is hard to get an answer. It's the chemical aspect I'm most intrigued by... [/QUOTE]
