Nitrogen
From Mehlich-3 to Olsen P, the extractant method your lab uses can help you interpret the data and manage inputs for more ROI.
Ken Ferrie warns that anhydrous ammonia won’t help young plants fight the carbon penalty this spring. He details how to bridge the nitrogen gap and protect your yield potential.
Before you leap, check out these essential management steps from Missouri farmer Todd Gibson and Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie to help you mitigate risks and protect ROI.
From planting depth to using low-salt in-furrow products, David Hula and Randy Dowdy detail management practices that help drive uniform, rapid emergence and early growth.
As planting dates shift earlier, the nutrient is delivering significant yield responses and surprising protection against sudden death syndrome.
There are at least two solid reasons for using an N “stabilizer” in your fields this spring, as well as one scenario when it doesn’t make financial sense.
Prioritize timing and placement to ensure young corn plants have access to enough N to withstand any disruption from microbial immobilization.
How you manage the mix in cornfields can determine whether the nitrogen feeds your crop or disappears into thin air.
Unlock higher corn yields and more profit potential by aligning N applications with peak uptake windows.
Bigger roots, higher populations, and easier in-season access mean fertility programs should look different for these new hybrids.
