Anyone using these urea based foliars this year in an attempt to cut back on expensive N? If so how do you plan to apply them? In a mix with T1 or T2 fungs? Or separately? Water rates? I was only planning on applying 28l ha to apply equivalent of 40kgs conventionally applied N (or maybe a tad less 25lt is easier maths). @Feldspar …..
 
With the dry forecast it could work really well this year? I’m cutting back the last little solid dose this week & going 10lt @t2 & 10lt t3 on milling wheat & 15lt @t2 on feed to finish them off, I’ve found it mixes fine with fungicides the last few years and bittersalts etc, I go @ 150lt/ha total? cheers dh
I was concerned about adding bittersalts in the mix, obviously you’ve got on ok with mixing it all together.

Most helpful 👍👍👍👍 thanks
 
Probably costs 20p to make 🤣
🙄🙄, I slipped up last autumn ordered a couple Ibc @ 1.40 - should have got all of it 🙄🤷🏻 the next couple were just over 2/lt but I think like everything it’s near 3 now….!!
Last I heard nufol was/is something like 500/ton? But it works totally different to nufol- I certainly wouldn’t want to be putting nufol on in this dry & cold nights it would proper scorch ? Cheers dh

Just one other quick question, my agronomist was whittling about leaving a part used ibc, saying it can go hard when there is air in the ibc? Sounds a bit odd, anyone else any experience of this? Thanks

I put on en28 onto grass last week. Cant see much benefit yet or am i bein inpatient?
It's so release that's the whole point. Based on nothing more than gut feeling doesn't seem the deal thing to coat grass with for either cutting or grazing as your harvest is much closer than mine................ but i don't have a clue.

This may be way out but I'm sure I've read somewhere recently about foliar N and it only needs a reduced dose as it more efficient on the leaf. Think it was something like 25% was equivalent to granular. Not sure if its this product either :X3:
Sorry if its my imagination :nailbiting:

That's why several of us are trying it........
