Like Wilson said we need more info on the tests, but a 150 bu corn crop removes somewhere in the neighborhood of 65 units of P and 45 units of K. It has to come from somewhere so if you would use mix at this rate your soil test levels will drop. One thing I have seen about many people touting liquids is that are more available. They might be, I don't really have a basis to disagree on that, but the liquids are more expensive. This is in my opinion where you use less originates. Many times the "you can use less" thing works for a few years and you don't see a difference in yield. One year your yields will drop drastically for no apparent reason. Soil is funny that way, you can mine it for years and not see much difference but when you do it will be great and hard to fix. Most of the time these low rate liquid sellers are nowhere to be found when this happens.

I reread you post and if they are saying no N either with this mix them I would run, not walk away.
