Before any of you spend big money on this stuff, buy one can and apply it to one sprayer pass to the field. Then take a photo of that strip in a months time.

Why do u say this? Iv just got delivery of 3 ibc
because of the way it works
Because its fairy dust?
Takes 6 weeks to use all the N apparently. Was told by someone not to use it on silage ground

Well i wouldnt be cutting more often than 6 weeks so shouldnt be an issue
Needs spraying on to leaf. So 3 weeks post cutting. It's a foliar feed. Hits soil and it's wasted

You can spray it onto a wet leaf as long as it doesn’t roll off and as long as the leaf then dries before a rain.

was thinking of a late application on maize? anyone tried it on maize
We've used it on cereals at flag leaf and on potatoes at full canopy. 20 l / ha is meant to be equivalent of 40kg bagged N. Takes some believing. Be nice to see some independent trials, and at the same time they could do with trialling all the hundreds of biostimulant foliar feeds that are on the market.
Agronomist reckons one of his farms used n28 last year on wheat replacing all bagged n from gs32 and there was no drop in yield compared to the wheat that received just bagged n.
I think the n28 would be beneficial in a dry time if there's no moisture to move the prilled n through the soil. But as already stated it's slow release and anything that doesn't hit a leaf is wasted.
