This special formula of McGeary Organics fertilizer is the answer for lawns, infrequently rotated gardens and especially for corn. Its special high-nitrogen formulation will also correct a field that has been over-manured or if a soil test has indicated excessive phosphorus and potassium levels. If your soil test reveals soil nitrate levels to be below 21 ppm, it can also be used as a side-dress of nitrogen after your crop is up to boost yield and growth.
McGeary Organics 8-1-1 is composed of blood meal, plant protein products, and compost. Like all McGeary products, it is OMRI Listed and NOP compliant. It contains several nitrogen rich ingredients, a large portion of which are rapidly available. The guidelines below are general recommendations. For specific recommendations and best results, always refer to a recent soil test.
Corn: use 70 lb of 8-1-1 per 25 bushels of expected yield. This should be adjusted based on manure applications and existing soil nutrients as determined by soil testing. Side dress applications should be based on a pre side-dress nitrate test.
Winter small grains: fertilize with a balanced fertilizer at planting, and then apply 100-300 lbs of Nitro-Power per acre in late February-early March.
Spring lawn applications: use 12 lbs per 1000 sq. ft.
