Spring Nitrogen Timing & Rate Considerations
Chris Bandura, Extension Conservation Cropping Outreach Specialist

Chris will give an overview of Nitrogen (N) application rate and timing in Midwestern corn production and a comparison of at-plant to split N applications. The effect of N application timing on optimal N fertilizer rates, N uptake, yield, and post-harvest soil nitrate will be explored. Where are split applications generally advantageous compared to single at-plant applications? Tune in to find out!
