Early Spring Crop Starters Boost Nitrogen in Corn
An 80 bushel corn crop removes 140 pounds of nitrogen. Fertilizer with two percent ammonia furnishes only a small fraction of total need but serves as a starter by providing available nitrogen when ground is cold and unresponsive. Observing crop growth helps determine if crop starters are needed to avoid weak plants, disease, slow growth, and delayed maturity.
