Fertilizer Calculation

[Traunc]

If i were to apply a fall fertilizer
6-4-36
what would be a safe rate to apply it (lbs per1000 sq ft) without putting out too much salt?

Thanks

10 pounds/1000 would be safe.

@ 10lbs per 1000 your putting down 3.6lb actual potassium. Seems kinda high by my standards, thats a season rate for me give or take a little bit. What type of turf are you treating? I'm curious on your product choice for the fall, how did you come to that analysis?

again, type of grass, location, soil type..10 lbs? 3.6 lbs of actual K per 1000? with the possiblity of that being MOP?!!! no, I don't think so

I smell a little sarcasm, gentlemen. What happened to the "rate this post" feature?

Assume it is MOP.

Safe rate would be about 3 lbs/M. If anyone thinks more is ok, I'd be very interested in hearing the details.

You're right Dreams, my apologies, sometimes a little cranky in the mornings before fully cafeinated..lol...however, this particular thread is just a restart of previous one where asking for more info about species and location was put forth in a kinder, gentler way.
