1. Effect of Late-Applied N on Corn Dry Matter, N Content, and YieldNitrogen management of corn (Zea mays L.) may be improved by delaying N application until just prior to the rapid growth phase (approximately V6-V8). This timing is commonly referred to as 'sidedress'.� Some farmers do not sidedress because they are concerned inclement weather may delay N application beyond V8, requiring high clearance equipment to apply N and possibly reducing grain yield. However, few studies have investigated the effects of late-applied N in rain-fed production environments... |
2. Do Split-Nitrogen Applications in the Midwest Affect Corn Nitrogen Uptake and Grain Yield?It is hypothesized that split-nitrogen (N) relative to single near-planting applications improve corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield and nitrogen recovery efficiency, which can lessen environmental impacts of fertilization. However, these hypotheses have not been fully tested. A 49-site-year study across eight US Midwestern states over three years was conducted to compare near-planting (Single) and split-N (Split) applications. Three N application timings were evaluated [Single near planting, 40... J. Clark, F. Fernandez, J. Camberato, P. Carter, R. Ferguson, D. Franzen, N. Kitchen, C. Laboski, E. Nafziger, J. Sawyer, J.
