3-18-18, Micro pack + managanese spiked, humid and fulvic acid.


Verified FBN Member (IL)

I start with a soil test first. If you get a micro pack you could be adding something that could hurt your yield. I have found when I y-drop...

10-34-0 is higher in salt content and in sandy or drier soils it can burn and you get no K or micros with it

From my experience Zinc is most common micro in a starter. As mentioned, Boron can cause toxicity so I'd prefer having it broadcasted based ...

Not totally tubular bus similar just dribbled out the back. This acts similar to a nitrogen stabilizer

Verified FBN Member (MI)

9 gallon of 28% + 6 gallon of thio. Has been my best RIO. To date.

Totally tubular?

Verified FBN Member (NE)

We use 7 gal of 32 and 3 gal of thiosul out the back on the ground. Works really well in our sandy soils and gives plant a little boost.

2x2 has worked well 2x2 but is a pain hauling that much liquid with 28. I have used a blend with 4% sulfur and when neighbors corn shows sig...

I though that boron was only taken in at the root tip.

Verified FBN Member (NE)

If you go with chelated boiron you can use it as a foliar best bang for your buck

Verified FBN Member (IN)

I used about .28 lbs of B. Or 1 qt/ac of a 10% boron product. I’m thinking about increasing that to .4 lbs split over 2 applications in 2020...

How much boron did you do?


Verified FBN Member (NE)

Anyone done any boron at plant? I’m playing around with banding some this year but that is pricey too.

Verified FBN Member (MI)

I run a qt of Borosol 10% from nutrien, it's about $4/qt. Run it in my 2x2 and definitely not in furrow

Verified FBN Member (NE)

I was maybe going to run it in a 0x2. Ive heard in furrow would be a bad idea

Verified FBN Member (SD)

Be careful with boron because it can be toxic.


Verified FBN Member (SD)

Great question. The starter I use has copper, iron and zinc added, but my corn tissue samples in '19 showed a deficiency of iron, so I am t...
