That's a fine looking Oliver but cross dressing? LOL Corn is one of the few crops that is a heavy N user that's why the side dressing. Depending on soil type side dress when the corn is about 4" and again when it is tractor axle high. Apply 4" from the row other wise you are feeding the weeds. Adding anything other than N is not going to give fast results and is a waste of money especially if you don't have a current soil test. Unless you're Big Time stay with ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate. The liquid stuff is fine but it is dangerous. The dry kind can even be applied by hand and a hoe. Your local County Extension Agent is a good source of information.
