Subject: Re: Will I hurt my corn?


Martinsville, Ohio
Have you already hurt your corn? I have had better luck with less gallons with the burn down, the UAN kind of overwhelms the soil and the herbicide. You have a nice mulch cover, my earthworms would have eaten that up.

Your picture is why I went to the Martin setup up to sweep away the trash and not get much into the furrow. Let the double disk openers do all the tillage but that means they need replaced more often. Looks like a coulter added to a corn planter from here. I struggled with that until I switched.

The other 16 nutrients have has much value as the nitrogen. As Mace says, you have enough already for a month or so if it is still there. I would wait for more nitrogen, you have already set the path for this corn crop.

Don't take this as slamming you but what I learned over 50 years of planting corn, most of it notill.

I would sidedress what I think I need by the time it's knee high.
