Figure Rate For Applying Nitrogen For Oats
Iowa State agronomist Lloyd Dumenil says nitrogen boosts oats yields more than phosphate when soils are untested. He offers a guideline: up to 40 lb N on sites with <30 bu/ac, up to 80 lb N for 40–50 bu/ac, and 10–20 lb N where yields exceed 50 bu/ac. Carryover from prior years can affect needs and lodging risk.
