Corn Yield Response to Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Timing in Northern Iowa

摘要

The objective of this project was to measure corn yield response to fertilizer nitrogen (N) application timing (spring pre-plant or at-planting vs. split/side-dress) across multiple N rates (0 to 250 lb total-N/acre). Results were determined through fitting yield response to N-rate regression equations and calculation of economic optimum nitrogen rate (EONR) based on a 0.10 N fertilizer price-to-corn price ratio.
