Data from Iowa below for preplant N
Iowa State Fertilizer N Response, EONR

Optimum yield versus optimum N rate, at 77 Iowa sites, $3.75 corn, $.33 AA, C/C Rotation. 


  • “In a surprising finding, these (nitrogen) experiments showed no relationship between optimum corn yields and the amount of nitrogen needed to produce those yields.”

  • “The soil supplies unpredictable amounts of N” •“Plant available N varies widely from year to year”
