Spreading urea/sulphur & urea

[Jon 3085]

Not much you can do. Try not to look at it so it doesn’t annoy you anymore

That’s what I thought

What would you do now?,that was 1 application of 100 units of n.

Either buy yourself some trays or get it tested next year

Doesn't anybody look on the ground when spreading to see if it's reaching as far as it should

Didn’t look that bad at the time.

ive tested a couple of spreaders here and they have all been like yours at start settings, over 15%cov

The problem with blends is that whilst a bit cheaper, they are almost all crap to spread. The components don't throw equally across full width.
They will tray test perfectly, but the contents of each tube across spread width vary according to whether its mostly Urea or mostly AS. Would you like to borrow the Tee-shirt ?
Only cure is to buy Piamon, Amidas, etc.

Is the dark green stripes in between each tramline? What width are ur tramlines.?

 

[Jon 3085]

20 metre tramlines,it’s been chucking it to far.

 

[davidroberts30]

set it to throw in tramline and give it another 30 units

 

[Woody j]

As said above I would go with 30 units up and down ur tramlines just spreading 10 meters . if you have an old wagtail spinner it would do the job

I had same problem with a different Urea product, Settings given to me by Amazone were way out and i ended up with a small area of W barley looking like that.....i put some 12m discs on and applied half the 24m rate. Then i spent quite a few hours tray testing and adjusting vanes until i arrived at a more accurate setting.

I might do this,anybody got any settings??

 

[Woody j]

every one on about tray testing never done it just use good fertiliser and online settings, never any problems

Get some liquid N or folia N and apply it with sprayer where it needs it.

I’ve twice applied Origin 38N 19s (blend of urea & AS) through a Kuhn spreader at 24m without any striping evident. Happy enough to continue using it another year anyway.

 

[David.]

To be fair to them, I've had Origin 38/19 this year too, it has spread the best any ever has.
It has a very uniform granule size though, which is probably why it spread well, and that's definitely not always the case.

Had this problem a few years back.

Drove quickly up tramlines at about 1,100 engine revs iirc, so prills were visually only being thrown to edge of yellow patches.

Obvs only spreading half width, so rate will be double what the settings say (if you were spreading at normal speed).

It sorted mine out and evened up the crop.

I got the settings from Thomas Bell for my urea/sulphur,it hasn’t gone well View attachment 1109826View attachment 1109827

We’ve got very similar stripes in places with the same product and an older Amazone ZAM, I used Thomas Bells setting page aswell as the Amazone app is useless this year for some reason.
Usually get a tray test done before spreading but didn’t happen this year. Had SCS out this week and we’ve now got it set bang on!

 

[Jon 3085]

set it to throw in tramline and give it another 30 units
Done this today with my last 2 bags on the spring barley,everything else has had its final dose a month ago so it will have to fend for itself now. Lesson learnt
