Subject: RE: anyone use liquid urea?


SE Iowa
Yes, I have used it the last couple years on corn, cereal rye, and soybeans. I don't use it as the main component of my nitrogen program, but more as a way to help keep nitrogen levels topped off in the plant going into high demand times. It is important to include humic in the mix to buffer the urea to minimize burn, and to help increase the nitrogen efficiency. Also include other nutrition in the foliar mix.

I make my own from dry urea that I buy from my local retailer. Just auger it into a cone bottom tank and recirculate with a Harbor Freight trash pump until it all dissolves. The water will get very cold as the urea dissolves so it helps to start with warm water, or ambient temp water from a storage tank at least. I make 900 gal at a time, and it takes at least a few hours...sometimes longer if you're starting with cooler water or cooler air temps.

Happy to help if you have questions.
