Subject: Re: Anyone top dress corn with urea??



McLeod County, MN
I spread it. This year I used 100lb of Urea and 50 AMS. Wouldnt think of spreading without Agrotain. I think I paid like $3 an acre for the Agrotain. It works awesome if you ask me. Nothing but good results the three years I have done it. As far as the pattern, consitancy, blah blah blah, its N. It moves pretty freely through the soil. The sulfer does too. No need to get it down to an exact ounce per square foot. You can miss by several feet and never know the difference.

In my area its real easy to hook a rain.

Have a neighbor that did 225 actual NH3 on some soy ground last fall and I did 180 total in COC with the above topdress. We planted the same day and mine is twice as green as his. You will get a little burn, but it doesnt effect it at all. For all the extra time and money no way would I consider NH3, 28 or 32. Save some of your N for an in season application, it will pay for itself and to have to coop do the application. The bigger the field the better job they can do if you ask me. Some of your smaller non-square fields can get a little beat up. Worth more than fungicide if you ask me.
