[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 8095867, member: 54866"] DAP is or normally has been murder expensive compared to the basic P and K alternatives. Straight nitrogen will also be a sniff cheaper. I will be honest, the bulk of the people I grew maize for around here lathered their fields in dung annually, used 40-50kg/acre of starter fertiliser and that was about it. A few applied some additional nitrogen to the seed bed but I could never hand on heart say I saw a genuine benefit from them doing so. I used to religiously soil test a lot of land and have them correct P and K with TSP, MOP or 0.24.24 or the like. For a sizeable area, I would use fibrophos. The starter fertiliser I used was based on DAP but contained sulphur and some other trace elements. You could apply many these with a sprayer though. Yara do maiztrac I think it is. [/QUOTE]
