Video: Which nitrogen source is right for you?

The urea portion of UAN will undergo the same reactions as urea-based fertilizers but since urea is only half of the total material the potential for volatilization loss is less Injection below the soil surface is the most effective way to minimize volatilization losses

Fertilizers for Corn

The fertilizer used as a starter should contain a small amount of nitrogen most if not all of the recommended phosphorus and possibly some potassium Thus a good starter fertilizer might range from a ratio of 1-4-0 1-3-1 1-3-3 to 1-1-1 depending on the rate of fertilizer required
