In Virginia we use liquid fertilizers at all three nurseries. At GGFC and NKFC the fertilizers are tank mixed with the weekly Goal application. A custom blend is used that includes Uran, liquid KCL and sulfur (Ammonium thiosulfate). By doing this we do not make any extra trips through the fields to apply fertilizers except for minor nutrient applications which we could also probably do in the tank mix. Chuck Davey usually recommends one or two summer applications of KCL at higher rates. Applying this with the
weekly applications eliminates the extra trip(s) and is far better at
keeping adequate levels available for the seedlings.
We always irrigate after these applications.
