Before filling the tank with fertilizer, pressure check the system with water to make sure there are no leaks. If there is a fissure, it will be discovered as soon as the pump is pressurized. The leak could be caused by a faulty hose or hose clamp. Water is a lot cheaper than fertilizer and is safer for hands, in case there is a leak.
While greasing the equipment, check nozzle mounts, row knives, and other parts...

When the total nitrogen requirement is furnished post harvest, before planting, or at time of planting, the nitrogen sits in the ground until the crop is mature enough to utilize it fully. This waiting period increases the opportunity for nitrogen loss; meaning investment lost, plant malnourishment and environmental concerns heightened.
The opportunity for nitrogen loss depends on many factors, including soil...

Excessive rainfall and denitrification can result in loss of applied nitrogen. There are many factors that affect soil nutrient levels, including soil type, fertilizer application and topography. One option to estimate the amount of nitrogen remaining is soil sampling. Soil analysis is a valuable tool to the nutrient status of a given field and, in turn, the inputs required for efficient and economic production.
