Today I saw two anhydrous nurse tanks leaving a supplier where I was working. This raises some concerns on my part.
- First the soil temperature is above 50 degrees and probably warming up in the next few days.
- Second, our soils are very wet. I am concerned that the slit will not seal properly
- Third, if the soil does fix the nitrogen, it could start to denitrify immediately because of the wetness.
Famers and suppliers should both be cautious about fall nitrogen applications.
- Wait till soil temperatures are at 50 degrees for good
- Use nitrification inhibitor
- Use anly ammonia products
- Wait for favorable moisture conditions
