    Would 3 bags of sulfa can i.e. 78 units of n/acre be too much to put out for a second cut to be taken before the 15th of August and spread in the next few days. I have never taken a proper second cut before only wrapped strong paddocks and this is on ground we have taken till the middle of august. It has gotten 2 bags of 0-7-30 and 3 bags of sulfa can already for the first cut and I'm after putting3000 gls of watery slurry on the stubbles..

    I usually put 72 units of N to the acre for a second cut.

    In my case four bags of 18 6 12 to the acre.

    What is the advantage of sulphur? In the past when I got soil tests done and spoke to the lab, they recommended against sulphur as it locked up nutrients.

    Dry land responds really well to it. We would aim to have 20 units out before end if June.

    Well what ever kind of soil type we have we'd grow nothing with out sulphur. We have even done our own experiments of spreading the headlands of a field with sulphur and the rest without and the difference is extreme.. The sulfa can is green and lifting out of it while the straight can does be pale and yellowish and slow to grow..
