Side-Dressing Sweet Corn with Nitrogen in Sandy Texas Soil

In Central Texas sandy soil, side-dress corn with high-nitrogen fertilizer (nitrate of soda 16-0-0, urea 46-0-0) at 3-leaf stage. Ammonium nitrate (33.5-0-0) scarce; check labels. Continue 13-13-13 for P/K. Water in thoroughly. Keep using "Texas Tea" (manure tea) for micros and microbial health.
