Is it in a plant usable form?
Is it only recommended for foliar application or can it be applied at seeding as well?

What is the concentration of available nitrogen? Lbs/gallon?

What is the "shelf life"? How stable is the solution?

What is the cost per lb. of the plant usable nitrogen.

Is it a viable option to make a significant difference?

[farmaholic]

Is it lightening is a bottle aka "snake oil"?

If this was ever a viable option why isn't it already being done?

I would think we're far enough down the road of technological advances that this "concept" isn't a new discovery.

Been watching this for two years , have a friend setting up 4 units . He is a skeptical guy , but sees opportunity.
will start our trials next year
mostly use as a foliar with fungicide to start and some acres , 40 , as a partial replacement for 28.

I think it’s possible to use as a spray water replacement for second herbicide pass on canola and with fungicide.

One guy on here tried some , I will text you

[TASFarms]

What peaks my interest is he mentions Thomas Dykstra and increasing brix. If it does increase brix that is way better than nitrogen from retail. It lowers brix.

I used it last year and did lots of experiments. It definitely does something.

On our farm it will replace last N

It also will be used on canola at flowering with a half-rate fungicide.

Storage is a issue because sun light causes it to grow.

No burn on crop.

You get about 33lbs
N at 10 gal an acre.

You need RO water.

It won't replace our anhydrous but we will be able to cut back N

Have a great day looking into 25000 gal bladders

[shtferbrains]

To good to be true.

[poorboy]

Could you replace all your spray water with this stuff?

Preburn use 15 gal/ac and put on 45 n, then 10 gal in crop for 33 N and 10 gal fungicide for 33 N gives a total of 111N and normal sprayer operations.

Hope it works out and is economical.

[SASKFARMER]

Yes, that's the whole idea. Each time you spray you can use it as the water. Getting 30 lbs N.

But it is made slowly, I would need 22 machines to do it in 90 days. To do it over winter all year I need 6 machines running 300 days a year will create enough for two full 10 gal opp. 200000 gal or 8 bags I would need for 60 lbs
N.

[SASKFARMER]

But 6 machines would pay for them in one year with the savings

[ColevilleH2S]

...Each time you spray you can use it as the water. Getting 30 lbs N...

But are you getting 30 lbs? The guy in the interview would not specify what the concentration was. He even said something to the effect of, "the nitrogen doesn't/won't show up in lab tests"

[tubs]

Very interesting topic. I listened to the guy out from sask and he said it change te soil from a bacterial to fungi soil what i think is the most interesting part it would make weedcontrol a little easier. I do all my N now with the sprayer already as uan

[Sodbuster]

Sounds too good to be true, 3.3 lbs of N a gallon puts it in the same league as 28-0-0. I would definitely need to see some trials before jumping into this investment.

[FarmJunkie]

DYODD. It is highly unlikely you’re getting 3 lbs per gallon. Definitely getting some but unable to determine the exact amount. Relying on it as your sole N requirement could be disasterous. Using the right water to make the product is critical

[shtferbrains]

My guess is this stuff would freeze rock solid at temps below zero
