Centipede Fertilizer Rate

I had a soil test done on my yard this spring and received some recommendations from the company. My soil is pretty low fertility so I already took care of the last two numbers and I'm getting ready to apply just nitrogen in mid April. The recommendation was for 33-0-0 at 3 lbs per 1,000 sq feet. This sounds a little aggressive for centipede but maybe the soil is so bad it might need it. Anyone applied a nitrogen only fertilizer before and did you burn the lawn? That's what I'm really afraid of by doing this much nitrogen.

3 lbs will not hurt it. I put twice that on Bermuda grass.

I would say that is a little aggressive. That is nearly the yearly recommended rate for centipede in one dose. I like to split that into two applications. One in spring, and one in late summer.
Bermuda will take nitrogen like none other. I use straight urea several times a year on my ball fields. More than 1lb/1000 of N on centipede onsets centipede decline.
