Split Applying Nitrogen

The amount of nitrogen you need depends on a few different things, but one of the major factors is if you plan on split applying. Split applying nitrogen can be very important depending on your soil type. For example, if you have a heavier soil with good water holding capacity then you could probably get away with 1 maybe 2 application of nitrogen. If you have a more sandier type soil, that water will infiltrate your soil quicker, then you should think about applying 2-3 times. Not only to make sure your plants getting enough nitrogen but also so your nitrogen isn’t leaching away. Another solution to this problem is to use a nitrogen stabilizer or use a coated nitrogen source that slowly releases nitrogen. A few of the products that we carry to help with nitrogen loss are Nitrain, Instinct, Puryield, and Blackmax 22. Nitrain is a nitrogen stabilizer designed to reduce nitrogen volatilization in urea based fertilizers, it does this by slowing down or inhibiting the activity of the urease enzymes. Instinct is also a nitrogen stabilizer but works by slowing down the conversion of ammonium into nitrate which is the form of nitrogen that leaches easily, keeping it in the soil longer. Puryield is urea with a polymer coating on it, this polymer coating works by sitting in the soil being broke down by natural elements and slowly releasing nitrogen. Blackmax 22/WSG, this isn’t necessarily a stabilizer but works great when applied with nitrogen. Blackmax works by keeping the carbon to nitrogen ratio in balance, the microbes in your soil need both nitrogen and carbon to help break down nutrients being applied or that are already in the soil. A typical range for nitrogen is anywhere from 0.8 to 1.1 lbs. of nitrogen per bushel yield goal, how many times you apply fertilizer and the other factors listed above affect how many pounds you should be using.
