Controlling the Controllables: All About Nitrogen

It's time to hit the rewind button and unpack what happened in 2024, and discover what we can learn from it.

On today's episode, Agronomy Managers Eric Wilson and Jared Goplen discuss denitrification. Any time the Corn Belt experiences large amounts of rain (like some areas did this spring) it raises questions about possible N loss and the need for supplemental N applications. Understanding the factors which influence nitrogen loss can help you determine your specific situation and aid in making informed decisions.

Nitrogen is one of the most expensive inputs in corn production. So, it is a decision that needs careful attention, because when we fall short on nitrogen it can be a very costly mistake.
