Nitrogen= 1.25 YG-NST

Phosphorus = (0.5790-0.193PST)YG

Potassium= (1.3750-0.0046KST)YG

NOTE: Broadcast recommendation can be reduced by 1/3 when applying phosphorus or potash in a band if the soil test levels are low or very low only. For soil test levels of M or H, no reduction of P is recommended.
