Can corn gluten meal be liquified and sprayed with the same effect as in a dry form? This could be a solution for application during our windy conditions. If possible to be liquified, what is the formula? Please provide pros and cons for this type application.

I have never heard of liguid CGM.

However, even if you could liquify CGM, it would lose some of its natural soil microbial biological and nutritional properties that make it work, from all the artificial un-natural processing needed to liquify it.

I doubt it. Corn is a solid.

If you were to soak CGM t would start to lose some of the properties that make it a pre-emergent control, namely the relatively high nitrogen level. It would still be a good fertilizer, just like any other tea, but you'd lose the weed control value in all likelihood. Another issue you'd face is the filter cloggining.

As an alternative, try to get some of the granulated product (rather than the powder) and use that instead. It's has as effective so I'm told, but it will have some benefit and it is always a good fertilizer.

Hope that helps!
