I'm not saying you can't learn--all of us that use it had to start sometime--but you have to know what you are doing. If you don't have a rate controller, the savings you anticipate can easily get "used up" by over-applying and using more than necessary. Or if you under-apply, your crop will suffer. It is a pressurized gas, and at 4:00 in the afternoon you will get maybe 30-50% more on with the same setting on the meter than early in the morning.(The hot sun causes pressure to build in the tank compared to a tank that has cooled down overnight). More psi in the tank= higher flow rate out=more applied per acre.
You also can get SERIOUSLY injured--severe burns or lost eyesight. And you can severely burn the corn if it isn't sealing properly.
I'd "learn" preplant, not sidedress, and I wouldn't even try it without a rate controller.
