Side dressing refers to applying the product after the corn is up, in practice, it is placed beside the row, hence the term side dressed. A rule of thumb is 1 pound actual nitrogen per bushel of expected yield, that is, if your area has an average yield of 150 bushels per acre, then apply 150 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre as a starting point. Since little nitrogen can be stored in the soil overwinter, you need to supply the full needs of the plant early in the growing season. Exceptions to this apply if the previous crop was a legume....alfalfa, clover, beans,...or if the field has been manured in the last year. A split application of nitrogen is best, but only a small amount should be applied with the planter as a band beside the seed. Amounts greater than 20 or 30 pounds per acre combined with banded potash will burn the seed. This small amount is referred to as starter fertilizer. Urea can be broadcast...spread. ..before planting, and the balance side dressed before the corn is too tall to drive through with the applicator, either as NH3 or 28 percent aqua. Where you buy your fertilizer should give you the best practices for your specific area. Per pound of actual nitrogen, dry urea at 48 percent N is mid priced compared toNH3 which is cheaper per unit, but more dangerous to handle, and 28 percent liquid sometimes called aqua, which is usually more costly per unit but is safer and easier to apply. Good luck with your crop! Ben
