    Well lads,
    Just looking for recommendations about fertilizer and lime quantities for the following soil test results. Lime requirement is 5 T/ha, P is 15-29kg/ha at index 3 and K is NIL kg/ha at index 4. I was going to apply gran lime instead of ground lime.
    Cheers for the help.

    You're actually in pretty good order really. 5t/ha is not bad. I have never used granlime but I wouldn't hesitate to get the ground lime out asap unless it's silage ground. DAP would sort your p requirements but really normal husbandry would maintain you. Slurry plus a couple of bags of 18-6-12 or 10-10-20 over the year.
