[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1250710, member: 498"] What you are smelling is ammonium (NH4) volatizing off into the atmosphere. There are a number of environmental factors that control the rate at which volatization occurs. Regardless of how and why this is happening that ammonium smell is also the smell of nitrogen leaving your field. I think we have all heard people say that the odor of manure is the smell of money. But reality is it is the smell of money leaving. And personally I want to keep every bit of nitrogen on my fields because it has the potential to be used by the grass to grow more and better forage.
