We have done exclusively liquid and exclusively solid. We now do a some of each. There are pros and cons to both. Scorch however has been bad this year. Sprayer travels better than tractor and spinner so we are favouring liquid NS early and then solid AN (or Urea) for the rest of the season. One customer is entirely liquid though.
Sprayer very accurate with PWM, but todays spinners with section control are also extremely accurate. We do go around the outer 3 or 4 m of every field with liquid UAN to feed the crop accurately to the edge, we can then afford to adjust the headland setting on the spreader conservatively. We have a lot of field obstacles which would lean the decision to spinning on solid, but now with section control we try and line up the tramlines with the poles/trees as much as possible to ease the inconvenience.
