    Urea nitrogen. Just make sure it's raining as you put it down or will rain in the next couple hours or you can water it in.

    If it doesn't get rained in it evaporates real fast.

    I broadcast fertilizer before a good rain on my brassica plots and spray a product called 'Jolt' from Antler King. It is a 9-17-8 foliar fertilizer spray.

    I have done it both ways in the past and they both work well. The upside to jolt is it doesnt have to rain to make it work, but you have to have a sprayer to apply it.

    ^ I picked up my one gallon pump sprayer at Menards for 6$. I use it alot. I also have a 4 wheeler sprayer, but that little one gallon sprayer does get used alot.
