I have always put on granular fertilizers/starters broadcast. I have decided this year to try a few Conklin products. I know that they are a little hyped, but getting nutrients right to the plant makes lots of sense. I also know there are many small trace nutrients that I am missing that would boost plant health and yield. It is time to move into the 21st century!
I bought tanks and row units for the 1760 no till planter. Here's my problem:
I am used to working in units. Conklin lists everything in GPA. Actually a range of GPA not a standard amount. They want you to have soil samples to tell you exact portions. I had my fields all tested last year but went ahead and added granular based on those tests. That I put on in units. I know what Midwest Labs recommended and I know what I put on. I need to know how to convert the range they give of GPA over to unit so I know how much liquid will really give me 3-18-18.
Has anyone dealt with this? It's about to give me a headache, and that's before I have even worked on the planter and added yet another monitor to the planter tractor.
