R=Matua(graze)-tons U=Millet(graze)-tons Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. 'd `~ d0 ,T, '1/4) L � 4' 0 • � � 3 \Ls' Updated Crop Management Practices for Bermuda Winter Overseed This document, as approved by the Interagency Nutrient Management Committee on October 10, 2017, hereby modified the July 13, 1998 Memorandum "Crop Management Practices for Select Forages Used in Waste Management". This modification updates the application window protocol for the 100 lb Nitrogen PAN rate for both Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass, as well as winter small grains. 3�: S • Farms utilizing the 100 lbs./ac PAN rate for the overseed are allowed to apply no more than0.lbs./ac PAN from October 1 through December 31 and no more than 3-. S BO, lbs./ac PAN from January 1 through March 31. • Applications made during the months of December and January cannot exceed the combined total of 2S. lbs./ac PAN for the two -month period. 8_9.5 • The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda crop prior to September 30. • The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced by 25%. All other requirements of the July 13, 1998 Memorandum continue to apply. Those requirements include but are not limited to: • Cereal rye and annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. • A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, whichever comes first, for both cereal rye and annual ryegrass. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading of emerging bermuda and reducing its yield. To favor the production of bermuda, additional harvest of annual ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12-15 inches height. These management requirements shall also apply to overseeded winter small grain. Nov 16, 2017
