Any advice much appreciated!!!
I have a right mix of growth stages in my wheat and barley. Some hybrid barley half way up your wellies (almost) and some much further behind. The same applies to my wheat.
I don't have any Fert booked yet but I'm keen to sort some out soon so I'm not left without.
Would it be sensible to use AN on the backwards fields and urea on the foreword crops a couple of weeks later.
I worked out the cost difference for my conventional barley 60ha ish, and a urea sulphur blend worked out £650 (6.5 tonne) cheaper than An/sulphur blend.
How many days does it take for urea to be converted. Is there a big difference in recovery as a first pass application?
The more backwards crops are on heavier wetter fields that will be slow to warm up, will this make recovery of urea worse?
I've always used liquid N before which is a 1/3 ureic 1/3 ammoniacal 1/3 nitric. But I'm keen to reduce production costs so want to try using some solid and save the liquid for the last pass only.
