Nitrogen guidelines for spring wheat and corn crops
Farmers should time nitrogen applications carefully. For wheat aiming over 55 bushels, apply at least 40 pounds actual nitrogen before green up, with higher rates possible if lodging is not a problem. avoid applying after 10 inches tall to prevent burning. For corn, predict yields over 125 bushels and adjust nitrogen from 60 to 180 pounds based on cover crop and prior crops, with specific recommendations for alfalfa sod or last year’s corn.
