Extra Nitrogen Is Needed for Continuous Corn
Jones County farm operators adopting continuous corn must supply 80 to 120 pounds of nitrogen per acre annually on average soils. Phosphorus and potassium carryover is high. after year one 20 to 30 pounds of P and K suffice. Soybean rotations deplete less N but more P and K. Good management is essential to justify high fertilizer rates and mitigate drainage in wet years.
