Southeastern Washington
We don't use any of those products any more. We use melted down dry Urea 46-0-0 and water. Diluted down to a 22-0-0 liquid urea. Products weight comes in at 11.6 lbs per gallon. The reason for diluting with water is that the more concentrated the sooner it will salt out at warmer temperatures. For example at 22% it will not salt out until 32% Ferenhieght. 24% will salt out at 40 degrees ferenhieght. Then we inject into the grass stands using a spokewheel injector. Placeing the urea mix approximately 4" into the soil. With 60 degree soil temperatures the urea starts converting directly. We figure we don't loose any nitrogen applying in those soil temperatures and good soil moisture.
