Many, many years of continuous no-till corn experience here. I put 40 gallons/acre of 30% N solution as a lay by application before corn is knee high (three weeks or so after planting). Usually at the time I am doing the lay by , there are showers forecast nearly every day, so there is good chance that nitrogen gets into the soil by rainfall. Even if rain does not come for a week or so the corn really jumps when it does rain, so Nitrogen loss to evaporation must be minimal. I use a homemade 3 point mounted tool bar with rigid drops centered between the rows. Floodjet tips on the drops are carried at 4 inches or less above the soil surface and spray a fan shaped pattern to the rear over the entire area between the rows. Only a couple of inches of the bottom of the corn stalk is hit by the spray of N solution. The first or second small leaves are burned off but the corn is not bothered by it . An added benefit of my application method is that any and all small grass or weeds that get hit by the N solution is burned down and killed. I get compliments on the clean weed free fields. Picture is from 2012.... typical corn for me.
