Anhydrous isn't common here, so the only way I've seen it applied is with shanks that cut everything up to inject high rates maybe not even annually.
So how would farmers familiar with anhydrous use "A box that makes 330lbs of ammonia a day"? Treat an acre a day? Apply a 1/300th rate and do 300 applications a year? Maintain a high-pressure 100,000lb tank of ammonia slowly being drip-filled until they need it all in fall? Buy 50 sea-cans and leave them shut off for 51 weeks a year?
- bluGill 2y agoI believe shanks are the only way to apply anhydrous. You need to get it into the soil or it will evaporate and do no good. Your question paragraph is full of great questions that I don't think anyone has figured out. These things are still very new, farmers are interested because they have the potential to be better than what they are doing now. However it is all potential and how it works in the real world remains to be seen.
