Adjusting the rate of seed, fertilizer and pesticide row by row and even foot by foot across a field deserves a brand-new name: variable-input technology.
When you grow corn, the first nutrient you think about is nitrogen (N). But phosphorus (P) is equally important. The right timing and placement can boost yield in years of late planting.
A 200-bu.-per-acre corn crop consumes 330 lb. to 350 lb. of nitrogen per acre. Know your soil’s nitrogen-supplying power to fine-tune application rates.
