Comment:
Fertilized the GLBRC Main Site bait crop corn with a liquid fertilizer solution which was comprised of approximately 1/2 of 28-0-0 and 1/2 of 19-17-0 giving an approximate final composition of 23.5-8.5-0. The fertilizer was applied at a rate of 50 gal/A. Assuming a density comparable to 28% fertilizer (10.65 lbs/gal), the 50 gal/A provided approximately 125 lbs N/A and 45 lbs/A of P2O5. Fertilizer was knifed between the rows of corn using a 15' liquid fertilizer applicator. Fertilizer applied using the JD7420a tractor and the 6 row fertilizer applicator equipped with a John Blue LM-2455S ground driven pump. Settings on the pump were approximately 6 3/4, ground speed was 3.7 mph.
