Liquid fert is obviously a more accurate way to apply fert, but on this farm for the first dose we will travel better/sooner with a tractor and spreader on broad tyres than with a sprayer early on in the season.
Second dose the sprayer seems busy enough, 3rd dose there is the risk of scorching, also urea is cheaper form of N. Unless well set up with a liquid mixing plant and mix your own up, so more time and investment.
Not saying it’s right every year but we are going all solid this year.
Pretty much where I stand. But have a mixing plant for protein spray so one day i’m going to test a field of liquid for comparison.
