What are the best micronutrients to put in furrow on corn for best ROI?

3-18-18, Micro pack + managanese spiked, humid and fulvic acid.
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
9 gallon of 28% + 6 gallon of thio. Has been my best RIO. To date.
Totally tubular?
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...
MoreI’ve tried Boron in my 2x2 starter. I think that’s too early for a one and done application as tissue tests came back as deficient later on ...

I put one gallon per ac on 2x2 and did not see any difference in tissue test or yield. I think it was to early and we had to wet of a spring...
MoreI though that boron was only taken in at the root tip.
If you go with chelated boiron you can use it as a foliar best bang for your buck
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...
MoreHow much boron did you do?
Anyone done any boron at plant? I’m playing around with banding some this year but that is pricey too.

I run a qt of Borosol 10% from nutrien, it's about $4/qt. Run it in my 2x2 and definitely not in furrow
I was maybe going to run it in a 0x2. Ive heard in furrow would be a bad idea
Be careful with boron because it can be toxic.
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...
