Liquid is uptake through the leaves where as granulated is via the soil. I have both actually but with the current cost of granulated prills, liquid is less expensive.

What are you spraying it on and how much do you have to spray?

If this is true why do some farmers use drop spouts and dribble the liquid nitrogen between the corn rows?

We buy DEF in a 55 gallon drum for $2.88 a gallon

So have I actually (28 liquid) but that has increased in price substantially as well while the Walmart DEF is stable here at 9 bucks a jug which actually makes it a better buy cost wise.

wouldn’t a big tote be more economical since you wouldnt have 130ish boxes and bottles to get rid off?

That is still north of $4 a gallon
If you already have the tank, they can deliver bulk cheaper.
On 6/9 we paid $2.12 a gallon

'cause they already have the toolbar?

It may be crop dependent. The farm I worked on added urea to irrigation water for green beans, but not for corn.
