[QUOTE="Cjm, post: 1817320, member: 2775"] Most concentrated liquid N I know of is 39% w/v, so if wanting 250 kgN, you would need to apply 641 l/ha throughout the season. Weaker grades would obviously require more. I agree about having twin lines- you will often find yourself doing 1 or 2 loads of liquid N first thing whilst waiting for the leaf to dry then going spraying then swapping back later. Logistically liquid fert is great, as it doesn't take up shed space, you don't have to be there to unload lorries, and you don't have bags to dispose of. A fast fill pump on the sprayer is ideal, but you can buy 2" petrol pumps for under £300 which you can use for filling/emptying bowsers. If you are having section control on your new sprayer, liquid fert is obviously much easier to apply accurately, or vary the rate. I've used 3 or 4 types of nozzles over the years and the ones I got on best with were the agroco umbrella nozzles, depending on your sprayer I doubt these would fit a rotating nozzle body but I'm sure [USER=1832]@SimpersTradeCounter[/USER] could give you some good advice on what nozzles are best for you [/QUOTE]
