Canada Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Anyone ever try this? For foliar feed or through drip system. I have a bunch of fertilizer that I would rather like to apply as liquid. I've been reading about it but am still unclear about whether it is possible to dissolve regular NPK granular. Any experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice555 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hello All, if it's a flat color fert, don't try it, all my hydro chems are shine like sugar are water soluble. All the W-S mixed frets(20-20-20/10-52-17, ect) are shine like sugar and are color coded like the other stuff. The reg fert is mostly fillers and will clog up your filter/drip system. There are several Co's that advertise W-S fert, WESCO is one of the biggest, their list of products I posted on the Fertilizer + TE thread still on page 1 of this forum. rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmerjo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I used to mix 46_0_0 with a pump recirculating in a 1000 litre tank,just add slowly. Mind you this was put through a boom sprayer direct onto sugar,not through a drip system. Mitr phol had a liquid fertilizer a few years back,sorry can't remember its name.

Canada Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 How did you find that worked? Most people around here just throw it at the cane....seems like a waste to me if not applied well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerjo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Worked well for me as the first application straight after cutting at 50kg/rai. Second application was by hand as my boomspray was on 22hp kubota and to low as I used to wait for sugar to boot up then apply. Have a 6610 with enclosed cab now for spraying which is great but I only grow corn,rice and beans now. Yeild wise I used to average 15 ton with the sprayed on urea then 50kg of 16_16_16.

Canada Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 I haven't got a sprayer yet. Was going to get one this year but other projects took priority. If I got a sprayer, I'd likely start weed control with it...so just as well we didn't. Don't like to be around the herbicides really. We are farming only cane. Quite frankly, looking to get rid of it all. I think farming in Isaan was a nice idea, but I don't like it much out here. I miss doing what I was doing before I did this to my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
