U of A Forage Fertilizer Recommendation Crop Code List
*Note:
When forage is to be planted, select the establishment code to match the
desired forage, whether for hay or pasture, and then select the corresponding
production or maintenance codes for that forage for hay, pasture, or both hay
and pasture if requested. If no forage will be planted and production of
existing forage is desired, select only the hay production or pasture
maintenance codes for that forage. On new cleared land use fallow code # 19 for
previous crop on the soil test form.
