Subject: Notill corn on corn


I was wanting to notill corn into corn stalks. How do you get your nitrogen on? Last year I planted 36 acres, I applied 28% over the top. The yeild was down 20-30 bushel less than corn after beans. What I was thinking is that I ran out N late in the summer. My planter is not set up to put on starter. The only way I can think to put N on is to sidedress 28 in, but I didn,t know if the bar would go through stalks. I do have a strip till bar to put NH3 on, but with it raining ever other day I'm not sure that would be the way to go planting on top of the NH3. Thanks

Macon, IL		My experience with 28% over the top was similar to yous. Last year I used AMS (Ammonium Sulfate) applied in the winter when the ground is frozen-if that is available in your area. However year after year I think it can be even harder on PH than Anhydrous.

I also tried to sidedress 28% with an applicator but that wasn't a whole lot easier than dragging anhydrous bar through standing stalks in the fall-11 row applicator with my squirrelly driving with 6 row planter was main issue. If your units line up or you drive better than me that may work well.

You can make them all work. Long term the only viable option I am seeing for me is fall stripping it on with strip till bar.

So Illinois		Put on 28 with a bar that is just a coulter and injection nozzle...shouldn't be a problem.

Boyd, WI		I've had good luck sidedressing with coulter and injector. Pick a warm dry day if you're worried about slicing through the stalks. Another option, not the best in my opinion, is if anyone uses drop nozzles to stream 28 on later. That has been done around me with mixed results. Best imo, is to put on a little with sprayer in spring. This will also help break down the residue. Come back with the bulk of your N needs via applicator.
