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: http://www.soil.ncsu.edu/publication...ag-439-16W.pdf
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. http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg/index.html It has a generic listing of crops and nutrient needs here. http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg...rtilizing.html This link might be of value as well. http://pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docush...LA-6000web.pdf |

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.
