Liquid fertilizer

[Kodiak45]

I don't mind at all trying to help but I don't want to sound like a know it all or being intrusive on what you do on your farm. Liquid fertilizer does have a place and I've used it a great deal but it is somewhat limited. I had success with it in gardens, fruit trees, flowers, tobacco, and some row crops that have been "stressed" by some factor. Most success has come from using it to supply "micro" nutrients. When a crop needs "pounds" or 100's of pounds of a nutrient it hasn't worked out for me. South Carlina may be different. In many cases we will make an application of herbicide, insecticide,fungicide and a foliar fertilize as the "last pass" over soybeans before harvest. We're getting geared to do that now. All of pasture/hay field get an application of dry in the spring. We mix red clover/alfalfa in the fertilizer. In some cases we will make a late summer/early fall light application of N to try and stockpile some grass for winter grazing. We also try and apply dry Potash in the fall/winter if we get time. Have a blessed day.

My knowledge is little and probably misinformed to an extent in many cases and I appreciate to learn the easy way. What do you use for foliar, is there a particular product you use? There is nothing worse than being misinformed and people passing ignorance.

You probably mean anhydrous ammonia. It is about 82 percent nitrogen, I believe. It has to be injected so as not to lose the nitrogen
to the air. 28 percent is a liquid nitrogen fertilizer that is fairly common around here for corn. It is also injected into the ground after
the corn has emerged. Urea is a dry pellet, 46 percent nitrogen. It needs to be spread before a rain so as not to lose the nitrogen
to the air because it will volatilize otherwise.

yes, I had them switched. I've put out Urea pellets in the spring when rain chances are 100%. Anhydrous ammonia is for the dirt farmers with giant tractors

I normally use a product from Winfield Solutions called "Gainer". It comes in a 25lb bag and various NPK levels. I most commonly use the 10-16-38 formula at a rate of 5 lbs per acre but that varies by crop needs. They also have a line of liquid "micros" called "Max-N" that I have had good with. I don't think they have anything in SC but it gives you some info to work with. If there's anything I might could help with just shout.
