SE IA | I don't have specific yields that I remember, as everything was in that 150-170 bushel range, but my neighbor didn't think he got any good out of the urea (and he wasn't too proud to admit it). I had another neighbor who is a BTO and claimed that putting on that urea saved his corn crop. (I think he was too proud to admit his error).
From what I saw that year if you had put on a full-rate say 180# preplant commercial N, you didn't see a benefit to flying on or sidedressing urea that year in 2011. Now if you were planning on putting on 180# but only put on 100# preplant, you are still short the 80# and needed to put that 80# on.
Had another neighbor who had a full rate of N on(180#), and had co-op dribble 60# on one pass, (24 rows) just to see if he could get another yield kick out of that corn. It gained him like 2-3 bushel. Now if had kept on raining, he may have seen a bigger response, but that particular year, it quit raining, and the N hung around. | |
