Nutrient removal values may vary regionally depending on growing conditions. Use locally available data whenever possible. Crop nutrient removal and soil test considerations should be made for proper nutrient recommendations.

Notes:

• For sunflower and dry beans: Weight of nutrients required to grow [Target Yield (lbs / acre)] of (Crop Type) = Target yield (lbs/acre) x Weight of actual nutrient required per 1 lb of crop
• For potatoes: Weight of nutrients required to grow [Target Yield (CWT / acre)] of Potatoes = [Target Yield (CWT / acre)] x Weight of actual nutrient required per 1 CWT of crop
• For sugar beets, alfalfa, grass, barley silage and corn silage: Weight of nutrients required to grow [Target Yield ( tonnes / acre)] of (Crop Type) = [Target Yield ( tonnes / acre)] x Weight of actual nutrient required per 1 tonne of crop
• For all other crops: Weight of nutrients required to grow [Target Yield (bu / acre)] of (Crop Type) = [Target Yield (bu / acre)] x Weight of actual nutrient required per 1 bu of crop
