Final Nitrogen Check
July 11th, 2011With all the moisture this spring and early summer its a good time to do a final nitrogen check in corn. This can be done visually or using soil and tissue tests. Many soil nitrate tests have been coming back low in nitrogen, but the tissue tests are in sufficient range. If plant is getting enough nitrogen no need to add more continue to monitor and apply as needed.
