So we've had a really wet spring. A lot of planters have been parked, couldn't get corn planted, and the corn it got planted.
00:06
We're seeing a lot of these drowned out areas where the corn's yellows needing some nitrogen and oxygen and it's just needing a little help.
00:13
So we're very familiar with this in the River valley we deal with it seems like every year, thanks
00:18
to a good friend Johnny Rell out in Jackson, Tennessee. He taught me an easier way to do this with a sprayer. Traditionally, we'd take a tractor and slinger and spray it
00:27
and dry fertilize. That's very cumbersome when you do that, but it does a good job too.
00:32
It works, it peels in, but this is so much faster. Never thought about doing it like this. We take these streamer nozzles like we use on our wheat,
00:39
but what we do is we skip and put 'em on every other. Boom, set every other nozzle body, excuse me, and we're on 40 inches instead of 20.
00:46
And what that does, we go with a larger diameter nozzle. And by going with that larger nozzle, putting half
00:52
as many on, then we still are putting our 15 gallons or 20 gallons, whatever your desired rate is. So we're putting a 24 s nitrogen
01:00
with a C Catt product in here. The C CATT has helps the nitrogen work better and the plant metabolize it, in my opinion,
01:06
and it also reduces any burn. The corn is smaller, you'll not see any burn. Some of our bigger corn, it will burn it.
01:13
So you don't want to do it on bigger corn and smaller corn. This really works well. Again, we already had 'em.
01:18
We didn't have to spend no money. We just swapped the sprayer out and roll on. So something to think about.
01:23
Conditions that we're dealing with this year, you can see on the nozzle bodies right here. You got it right here and you see that and missing,
01:30
and that's how it reduces the burn. About every eight or 10 inches is a band fertilized that's not touching the plant.
01:36
So hope this will help you get through this, this year, this growing season, and in the future.
