The recommended application of nitrogen is one pound of nitrogen per month per 1000 square feet.

3.8 lbs of a 26-0-2 product over 1000 sq ft. would deliver 0.988 lbs. (26% of 3.8 lbs.) of nitrogen which is close enough to the one pound you want to apply.

I believe yardtractor's suggestion will kill most grasses in the summer with the exception of bermuda, which thrives on that amount.

Not to even mention what it will do when applied in the Winter months...

It wasn't a recommendation for a fertilization schedule but as an explanation of application rate to calculate the amount of fertilizer to apply at one time in answer to the inquiry.

That being said, one shouldn't correct what one deems misinformation with misinformation. I can't speak to the requirements of warm season grasses like Bermuda, but a well maintained KB lawn will thrive on one pound of N per month throughout the Summer and I've never seen any cool season grass (although I wouldn't recommend it for fescues) harmed, leave alone killed, by a monthly pound of N derived from Millorganite- at least the old Milorganite before the 40% fast release formula.
Isn't splitting hairs fun?

Edit: But yes, the amount of fertilizer and the months of application would depend on where you live and the type of grass.
