Milo

Really? You must have some fertilizer built up in your ground? I planted milo last year, and fertilized, but not enough I'm afraid. It filled in well but few heads I believed was caused by lack of N,P,K...I didn't plant too thick. I thought Milo has the same Fert needs as corn? I tried to get by with less than half N,P, K and didn't work out...

I was under the impression it's a lot less needy than corn. I'm sure if you're producing it as a cash crop you can split hairs with that stuff but I literally did not fertilize, all on clay soil tops in IL, and it grew great (see above). The dirt had been soybeans prior so probably a little N in the dirt from them. pH around 6.4-6.6

It Is not splitting hairs, without fertilize you won't get grain, and I might be missing it, but looking on my phone, I don't see any grain on the plants in your pics. Your field looked exactly like my field, plants with no grain. I didn't fertilize enough and it looks like you didn't either. I don't want someone to come in here, read your comment about no inputs for milo and then be surprised at the results. I'm not trying to be a jack wagon about it, but this site has tons of good info on it and I'd like for it to stay that way, sorry.
