Continuing on the thread bellow, I am curious if melting urea and steaming it on how bad it would burn? I've read where you can use ams or humate to buffer or help rid the melted urea of free ammonia that causes the burn, but I'd like to hear if anyone has real world experience on what works. What rate or mixture?
Would like to add 60-120 units of n total, 60 would be dryland so lots of space to hit the ground instead of the leaves.
Dragging hoses would be a challenge to say the least with our terraces, had a friend try it a few times, and everywhere he crossed a terraces the boom rose up and torched the corn or milo, also ripped hoses off on the low end.
Have hired a row crop spreader to spin on dry, such a pain to time a rain, and they over a bunch of corn. So I'd rather put it all on preplant that do that.
Done it. Its gonna come down to which urea you source. There's a chemical in -i think the import urea- which will burn where the domestic stuff won't. I expected none because I figured I had domestic and I was wrong. In my case I don't think there was much difference between melted urea and uan. I also had a hose blow and I wrote it off as a non event because it was urea. It torched that corn..FWIW.
Take care

Melted urea, top dressing corn with streamers?
