This article aims to help growers and others interested in carinata to understand its biology, agronomy, and production aspects.

Fertilization of Agronomic Crops

D. L. Wright and C. Mackowiak

Development of fertilization programs for Florida field or forage crops requires that consideration be given to nutrient requirements for each crop, soil nutrient levels, reactions of the soil with added nutrients, and the ability of the soil to retain and deliver nutrients and water. These factors are used to determine rates, placement, and timing of fertilizer applications.
