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 4.8 mph.
