If you are low on certain nutrients in the fall do you just add them and get another soil test done in spring or apply all in spring? Soil came up 105ppm for phosphorus, 109 ppm for potassium, 170 ppm for magnesium, 9 ppm for sulfur, 9 ppm for manganese, .2 ppm for boron and recommends 110 lbs of nitrogen per acre.

looks like a partial soil test, kind of like looking for buried treasure with half the map. get a complete soil test with recommendations,

110 lbs of N per acre is about 23 ppm what was your N on the test?

with out the whole test you have put yourself in a best guess scenario.
