Pasture grasses and legumes, like all plants, need a good supply of nutrients to support healthy growth. Most of the nutrients required by plants are naturally supplied through the soil. However, nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium are required by plants in such large amounts, that most of our soils are often deficient in one or all of these major elements. It is often necessary to supplement the soil with these nutrients through an application of manure or fertilizer.
