2004 Crop Nitrogen Algorithm Workshop

Nitrogen Use Efficiency, Nitrogen Fertilizers, NUE, Nitrogen and the Environment
2004-2005 Regional TRIAL Template (1st Draft)
2004 Workshop Objectives

1. Discuss reasonable scenarios for N fertilization (preplant rates, mid-season N rates, time of application, method of application, CV, yield goals, and rate as a function of expected yield)

2. Discuss lessons learned and observations from 2003 efforts by individuals using active sensors

3. Discussion for improving collaborative sensor-based research in our region (wheat and corn initiatives)

August 6
Friday 8:00-9:00
Separate into Groups to Identify NEEDS for Improved Corn, Wheat, & other crop N Algorithms.

Strategy or Concept Requirements
If yield can be predicted, what do we do?
If yield cannot be predicted, what do we do?

Window of opportunity is wider for corn than for wheat, provided that wide-clearance vehicles are available.  This will dictate "strategies" and the consideration of different options.

Considerations for other crops: rice and other crops (system: bedded versus flat or flood irrigation)
