Mississippi wildlife agency advises separate fertilizer timing for food plots

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks advises food plot managers to use soil tests when deciding which nutrients are needed and to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium separately and at different times rather than using a general fertilizer blend all at once during planting.

The agency directs readers seeking specific application times and reasons for each fertilizer to its strategic fertilizer timing webpage.
