sprayer

What changes, if any would be necessary to spray nitrogen from a herbicide sprayer? Thanks.

Shouldn't have to make any changes. If you are applying 20 gallons per acre you will be applying about 45 pounds of nitrogen, about right for wheat in my area.
For corn you will probably want to increase the rate or possibly overlap coverage to get the rate you want. May have to use larger spray nozzles if you have the pump capacity. May simply drive at a slower speed to get a higher rate per acre... Gene

When are you going to apply N? I used mine to side dress N on corn. Take spray nozzle out and put in disc orfice and attach a hose to hand between rows. Worked good, dribble N on top of ground. Don't see why you couldn't spray it on with right nozzles. Chris
