Wheat School: How to avoid leaf burn from UAN

Achieving big wheat yields means managing nitrogen, but split applications can damage wheat leaves.

Peter "Wheat Pete" Johnson is hopping mad in this Wheat School episode — mad at himself that is. In the video, he's standing in a wheat field with leaf-burn — a field that he said was good-to-go.

"Split your nitrogen, because we've got a big wheat crop in the ground and we want to make sure we keep it standing; we don't want it to fall over," says Johnson. However, low temperature nights, cloudy days, and the fact that the leaves don't have a cuticle, can cause horrible leaf burn from 28 per cent (UAN) on a second application, he explains.
