I have top dressed for the first time this year some liquid N on my crops and so far am impressed I am in a flood irrigation area and was penciling it out and wondering if there was a way to apply this liquid to bare ground then till it in. I have a sprayer i use that handles the liquid well I would spray the fertilizer onto bare ground then disc it in is this common practice and is the liquid suceptable to washing out more or less than pellets? Also, this would take me more time in the spring but save me money since the fertilizer is cheaper in liquid form and the pellets cost $8 acre to spread I think it is a good thiought but noone around here has tried it also, noone tried topdressing the liquid either, I was the first one. There will be no row crops only wheat and oats, thanks guys and pleasant farming to you all.
 
I have been sidedressing(applying after corn is up)liquid N for about 25 years now.

Some here broadcast as you say as a carrier for their herbicides before the corn is up but after planting. It is not even worked into the ground.

Yes they loose a little but not much it is fairly stable.

Here is an applicator like the one I use to sidedress.

Nice rig I top dressed after the crops were up and is making a noticeable difference but I would like to try more liquid and till it in It is cheaper than pellets around here
 
Only major issue I have with spraying it is it can be REALLY hard on your sprayer, particularly when it's in a fine mist as opposed to some of the purpose-built setups. Know one guy here used his SP sprayer last year, the cost savings kind of disappeared when he had to spend $20,000 replacing all the wiring and controls on the sprayer because the N corroded everything.
