An Example An Example
- Corn after Soybeans
200 b / 2 2 0 lb f i d 200 bu/A X 1.2 = 240 lbs of N required
- Subtract the following
1) Soil nitrate = 30 lbs of N 2) Past soybeans = 40 lbs of N 2) Past soybeans 40 lbs of N 3) Amount of N to apply = 170 lbs of N/A
N Fertilizer Recommendation for Wheat, b / 50 bu/A
1. N requirement is 2.4 lbs of N/bu (120 lbs of N) – Subtract residual nitrate in 24 inches of soil / 2. 50 bushel/A wheat = 120 lbs of N required 3. Nitrate soil tests 1 0 8 inches = 20 ppm NO3 N = 48 lbs of N 1. 0‐8 inches = 20 ppm NO3‐N = 48 lbs of N 2. 8‐24 inches = 5 ppm NO3‐N = 24 lbs of N 3. 120 – 48 – 24 = 48 lbs of N per acre needed p
