What’s the leaf burn potential from streaming 10 to 20 pounds per acre of ammonium sulfate solution onto wheat straw with young soybeans growing?
Ten to 20 gallons of ammonium sulfate solution per acre would equate to 8 to 16 lb N/acre. Assuming that the fertilizer solution covers 20% of the row width, then the ammonium sulfate rate per wetted row would be equivalent to 40 – 80 lb N/acre, which should not cause a significant salt effect.
Comments
Applying 10–20 lbs of ammonium sulfate per acre on wheat straw with young soybeans poses minimal burn risk. With only 20% row coverage, the salt effect remains low, ensuring safe nutrient uptake. 🌱✅ #SoybeanCare #FertilizerManagement Visit: https://auxilife.com/
