Market Journal: Fertilizer Additives may be Economical this Year

Some fertilizer additivies, such as a urease inhibitor, may be economical this year, according to Charles Shapiro, an Extension soils specialist featured on this week's edition of Market Journal. Shapiro says the price of fertilizer may warrant the use of a urease inhibitor this year for either liquid or granular fertilizer if the fertilizer is not tilled in. Shapiro says fertilizer needs about a 1/2 inch of water to incorporate it into the soil to avoid losses.
