One of our fields of soybeans is not showing good nodulation.   It is a field, that as far as I know, has never been in soybeans.  We did double inoculate the seed, but it is not showing good nodulation.... some, but very little.

Our agronomist has confirmed the problem and is recommending about 80 pounds of actual nitrogen to be applied. 

We have one of those "tricycle" terragotor spreaders.  With the soybeans at V4 we don't think it would be a good idea to use this spreader on the soybeans.  We feel the tires driving over the soybean plants would do too much damage.  If anyone with experience spreading urea with a terragotor over soybeans at V4 knows it wouldn't be a problem.... please let me know.

We do have stream bars we can put on our sprayer, and could put 28% on the soybeans.  If we did this, we probably would split the nitrogen requirement and do it in two applications.  Doing 13 gallons of 28% per application.

Does anyone have experience putting 28% on soybeans using stream bars?  Will it burn the soybean leaves?

Any and all comments are appreciated.

thanks, gordon
