Nitrogen Application Guidance For Maize Residue And Small Grain
Cooperators in the Little River San Gabriel Soil and Water Conservation District discuss nitrogen timing for heavy maize residue. Apply 20 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 pounds dry residue after shredding and plowing, using residue weight to estimate dry mass. Small grain in rotation improves soils, adding residue that protects against erosion and boosts organic matter, with carryover effects for subsequent crops. Mrs. John Shelton built a 400 cubic yard pond on a 50 acre pasture with SCS planning and ASCS funding assistance.
