Reducing Nutrient Loss: Science Shows What Works

Sidedress: Sidedressing N can be done in different ways and with different sources of N, yet the concept of applying fertilizer after corn emergence is consistent. This strategy includes applying N during plant uptake, as well as timing to reduce the risk of loss from leaching events. Sidedressing also allows the N rate to be optimized by either soil sampling or crop canopy sensing. Reducing Nutrient Loss: Science Shows What Works
