What are your pop-up and 2x2 corn fertilizer programs?

Question

We have purchased a new planter and installing conceal and furrowjet. What fertilizer are you running in furrow and 2x2 or out of seed trench. And what rates. I’ve done quite a bit of research and would like to see what you have tried.

Answer

In furrow-5 gallon low salt orthophos starter diluted with 5 gallons of water 
2x2- 9 gallon solution 32 and one gallon kts

Answer

I am installing a 2x2 system and interested in the same responses. I’ll be doing a few experiments of my own this spring. Planning to get away from fall NH3/sidedress and move to 2x2/sidedress.

Answer

I use Nucleus HP, 3 gallon per acre for starter fertilizer.

Answer

4-5 gallons high ortho phosphate in furrow and 90# n in the 2x2  80:20  26 gallons of 28% and 8 gallons  ats for soil ph above 7.2. 85:15 for the rest  Also a qt or 2 of boron

Answer

I use what my soil test calls for.  Typically 6 gallons in furrow 100% orthophosphate 2-15-19-3s, sugar, and micronutrients.  2x2x2 I run 18 gallons 32 nitrogen.  Balance of 32 and sulfur is applied pre plant or y drop with a Dcd nitrogen stabilizer.

Answer

I installed a 2x2x2 system last year on my planter.  I run 21 ga 28% and 4 ga ATS. Balance of my 28% and ATS is put on with Y drops. I put 4 ga starter in furrow with insecticide and fungicide.  I have a 500 ga tank mounted on planter for starter and pull a 1,600 ga four wheel steer cart behind planter for 28% and ATS.  Did this last year to get away from fall applied N and to put nutrients where they are needed.  Saw a great response last year.  Corn on corn was nice and green right from the start.
