21 IPM Decision Tool Development 2012-Present (UI Weed Sci)
22 IPM Strategies NPK Fertilization Timing & Crop Competitiveness Timothy Hay Management Guidelines: (S. Fransen; WSU-IAREC, Prosser WA) Higher harvest heights (> 5 in) preserve stored sugars important for surviving drought stress and growth Fall P&K fertilization increase root and shoot development, resulting in earlier spring green-up. IPM Fertilizer Treatments: NPK rates based on fall soil sample + recommendations (UI Forage) PK fall application timed to precede fall rains N spring application timed to GDD recommendations (UI Forage)
