Research indicates that applying HI-COTE at 200 lbs of N in fall furrow applications produces yields comparable to — and exceeding — those from traditional spring UAN applications.

Fall furrow application at 200 lbs of N delivers grain yields matching or surpassing conventional spring UAN applications.

  • With seed and fertilizer placed at least 3 inches apart, no signs of burning were observed despite advance pre-planting application.

  • Nutrients remain dormant until soil temperature rises to seed germination levels, then release gradually in sync with the corn growth curve — eliminating the need for split applications.
