[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8577155, member: 44728"] Apart from the price compared to AN, the reason I like Urea is that you can put it on early on a frost without the fear of it becoming active too soon. It is sort of ideal insofar that it will sit there until it is warm enough for the crop to grow and call for it. However, I have known a couple of cold-ish years when the crop was calling for it, but it was still just too cold for the Urea to work in time. This can be a bugger on Winter Barley, in trying to prevent it going yellow. For a few years, I switched to Double Top, which is AN and Sulphur for the 1st dose on Barley. Since you can’t get it any more, I now use Thomas Bells 33N 30S03, which is Urea and Ammonium Sulphate mixed 50:50. That Ammonium Sulphate will act fast enough to save the Barley and the Urea will sit there until it is warm enough. So to me, it’s the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
