Soil Fertility Guide

Appendix

Fertilizer Guidelines for Soil Tests

The following recommendation tables listed in the Appendix should be used as a guide to fertilization rates. These guidelines are not intended to supercede provincial laws or to serve as application limits.

The guidelines in the following tables have been based on field research in Manitoba. Some guidelines have not been revised since 1990 due to lack of supporting field data. Development of new or validation of existing nitrogen guidelines have been done since 2000 for winter wheat, oats, flax, corn, dry beans, potatoes and forage grasses. Revisions are under development for spring wheat, barley and canola.

Nitrogen recommendations for hard red spring wheat.
