Is there an NPK chart for the Different Kinds of Vegetables?
 

Is there an NPK chart for different vegetables free pdf - site link - etc

John - are you referring to nutrient removal, i.e. how much of each mineral nutrient is used by different crops? Take a look at this: [url]http://www.soil.ncsu.edu/publications/Soilfacts/ag-439-16W.pdf[/url]

This doesn't necessarily equate to how much NPK to add. That will vary depending on what you already have present in your soil and other factors. Also, plants don't use NPK and other nutrients in a linear manner. Tomatoes, for example, will extract more N early in the growing cycle and more K later when they are setting and maturing fruit.

John,
I had hunted high and low for the same thing. Was never able to find it in "quick" chart form. All the really good stuff I have found is aimed at commercial growers and talks more about lbs per acre, and of course, soil testing.
I did find this fairly comprehensive guide at one point.

It has a generic listing of crops and nutrient needs here.

This link might be of value as well.

fortyonenorth looking for both. First the ballpark of what each group of plants uptake and second the different stages they take it up as you mentioned about tomatoes. Take cucumbers for example what are their uptake cycles. corn uptake cycle etc.
Thanks for the link.

JamesL thanks for that link. It's a start.

When I got my soil test from Texas A&M I noticed on their website they have recommended fertility levels for different crops, so I can compare my soil test numbers.
