Timing nitrogen efficiently: How to maximize yield while mitigating risk
from UMN Extension Nutrient Management Podcast Hosted by University of Minnesota Extension
In the 8th episode of the Advancing Nitrogen Smart series, we’re taking about timing. What makes understanding timing crucial to using nitrogen efficiently? Should growers apply in fall, and if so, what source should be avoided? Between which growth stages does corn take up the bulk of a field's N? What do weather extremes teach us about optimal timing? Do some timing decisions negatively affect farmers' finances? In what ways? Guests: Brad Carlson, Extension educator (Mankato) Daniel Kaiser, Extension nutrient management specialist (St. Paul) Additional resources: Understanding nitrogen in soils Nitrogen Fertilizer BMPs for Agricultural Lands Does fall urea application reduce sugarbeet stand loss? --- For the latest nutrient management information, subscribe to the Nutrient Management Podcast.
