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


SE SD
I did it last year, 120-60-40 urea, DAP, and potash on part of a field that got screwed up and had no fertilizer before planting. It turned out to be about the best corn I had come fall.

I thought I'd try more this year, so Friday I put out 130 pounds of urea with 50 pounds of AMS on one field. I planned to put agrotain with it but when I went to the fertilizer plant with the spreader my agronomist was there and informed me our area was just placed under a flash flood watch so I didn't bother with the agrotain. By yesterday morning we picked up 2.25" of rain so it worked out well for me. If there isn't rain in the forecast I would definitely use the agrotain unless you plan on cultivating it in.

As others have said there will be some leaf burn but it won't hurt the yield. The spreader I used has a 50' spread pattern. It runs down a lot less corn on the ends vs. a 28% applicator.
