Do you get any scorch problems with the urea?
I've found you can put about 8kgs N/ha per pass without any significant scorch. More of a top up little and often effect. I think it also has a slight fungicidal effect as about half of our urea went on as foliar last year and crops were very clean. No real yield benefit though over granular/ liquid N though

I should add we are 200l/ha water most passes so might get scorch at lower volumes

Interesting, thought the fungicides would hot up its potential scorch effect. Do you use any fulvic/humic or seaweed juice to help?

Think the higher water rate does help though for flag I probably would only be doing 5kgs N/ha. We have used fulvic acid before but not convinced it is bringing anything to the party that a few litres of molasses doesn't at a fraction of the price.
