Fertilizer practices for new and young beds are not discussed. Topics include how to time N fertilization applications; calculate N fertilizer needs; set and adjust target N fertilization rates; and evaluate plant characteristics, such as leaf color and growth, to assess N status. Provides background material on the pathways of N in soil and the physiology of N use in cranberry plants. Lists sources of additional information.
