Subject: RE: Topdressing wheat Dry vs Liquid


north central Oklahoma
What mike said is true, but there is also the problem of time of availability of "N" to the plant. Someone correct me if I err, but UAN 28% or 32% (we don't have 32 here) is available immediately to the plant. Urea 46% has to go through a transition to convert to usable N, which requires temps above 50 degrees I think. So if one is kept out of the field until the latest days that topdress can be effective, 46% would not be the "N" of choice.

Liquid also usually a bit pricier than dry too, at least in this part of the world it is.
