Many farmers are planning their corn crop for this year right now, and the question of the use of supplemental nitrogen has come up in discussions with some of these men...Why and when should it be applied? Corn is heavy feeder on plant nutrients. As yields increase, the content of nitrogen, phos- phate and potash in the corn plant increases. Tests show that nitrogen increases at a greater rate than potash and phosphate. But what is most interesting is that most of the nitrogen is in the grain portion, while the potash is almost entirely in the stover. The nitrogen doesn't return to the ground, then, like the potash in the crop residues. And it explains why additional nitrogen must be added to the crop in the growing season. The high rates of hitrogen re- quired by your corn crop means that you won't be able to add it all as mixed fertilizer. You will have to pre -plant or side - dress with it as well. Liquid nitrogen and anhydrous (or gas- eous) ammonia are common forms of supplemental nitrogen and are readily available. Liq- uid nitrogen is more desirable to use than anhydrous ammonia. Aqua is convenient and safer for the operator and the crop. It is applied under low pressure, which is potentially less dang- erous than the high pressure method for anhydrous. The aqua applicator knives need penetrate only 3-4 inches into the soil, as compared to 3-9 inches for anhydrous equipment, and so plant roots are less likely to be cut during a dispensing of side -dressing operation. Pre -planting liquid nitrogen about 48 hours before seeding seems to be the most effective timing. It gets the nitrogen into tie ground so it is available from germination on, in the plant growth cycle. But you can run into the same difficulty as many farmers experienced last year. The cold wet weather kept land work to a minimum, then the weather changes so rapidly, that there wasn't time to pre -plant before seeding. You can still apply either aqua or anhydrous ammonia as a side -dressing however and get excellent results, if you have weather problems again this year. Plan to apply the supplement- al nitrogen anytime up to the point the corn reaches a height of about 18 inches. You won't damage the corn roots too much during this period, and you will eget the nitrogen to the corn before it reaches the period of peak demand for nitrogen. Both forms of nitrogen are economical to use, and both DE -FLY -ER After 17 years of service — still the most effective proven method to kill insect pests.
