Comment:
Fertilized the GLBRC Main Site corn treatment G1 all replications (5, 3, 2, 4, 1) and bait crop corn (East and South perimeter middle 30', North perimeter on the west edge between two drives) with 28-0-0 liquid fertilizer. Urea-Ammonium Nitrate (28-0-0) was applied at a total rate of 41 gal/A. Since 28% fertilizer weighs 10.65 lbs/gal, the 41 gal/A equals 122 lbs N/A. Fertilizer was knifed between the rows of corn using a 15' liquid fertilizer applicator at a depth of 5-6 inches. Equipment used: JD7420b tractor and the 6 row fertilizer applicator equipped with a John Deere Rate Controller and an Ace pump, The 28% applicator has seven coulters where the 5 inside coulters apply a full target rate and the 2 outside coulters apply half of the target rate. The applicator is controlled by a rate controller as well as inline orifices. Application speed around 4 mph.
