Urea Application /w Late Herbicide in HRS Wheat

[Klause]

I've seen some interesting numbers from melting urea into a liquid solution and applying it at a late (5-6 leaf) stage on wheat.


Was wondering if anyone on here has tried this? JdGreen? I think you did some right?

We apply our herbicides on HRS later than most since we rely on Express Pro for early control and think we could apply a shot of urea whilst doing this.

Same as Kugler Fert.?

Not sure on the salt content and the water ratio to make it safe , but some have done it.

Did it a few years back. We just used an old liquid fert tank with cone bottom and circulated with a pump until u couldnt hear the fert rattling thru system then sprayed it out.
Cant say we saw a huge benefit but definitely cheaper than liquid n. Takes time to do this. Using a liquid tanker would be excellent as u can do a lot at one time.

You will loose interest in mixing urea in water on farm as you get a serious endothermic reaction. The water gets so cold the piping will get covered with ice.
Cold water won't dissolve much product.
The theory of late application of N to boost protein has cycled through many times over the years but never grew legs.

Good find Hopper.

I've met Mr. Dennison before. .. him and a Phil Needham have a lot in common in wheat management and it's what we go after. Managing plant stands timing nutrient app with uptake. Using growth regulators.


The reason I brought up melting urea was because it would add another 10 lbs at a critical time without another trip over the field...
