Harnessing this residual nitrogen can provide a natural nutrient source for crops in the 2025 season, helping reduce the need for additional fertilizers, lowering costs, and preserving soil and water quality.
The trial resulted in a significant difference in yield response to the varied nitrogen rates. A rate of 54 gallons of 28% UAN per acre led to an increase of an average of 5.1 bushels per acre compared to a rate of 37 gallons of 28% UAN per acre. However, the higher rate of nitrogen incurred a relative loss of $28.05 per acre.
With a world record corn yield of 623 bushels per acre, David Hula discusses his systems approach to strip-till, including hybrid selection, planter setup, nutrient management and weekly tissue testing in his keynote presentation: "600 Bushels & Beyond: Checking the Boxes for Strip-Till Success."
Optimal nutrient placement is the top benefit of strip-till in the eyes of Chris Kasten, data analyst for TEVA Corporation. Kasten says determining optimal nutrient rates for the crop comes down to 3 basic steps
2022 Lessiter Media Best Speaker Award recipient Chris Perkins recaps his presentation at the 2023 National Strip-Tillage Conference. The Otwell, Ind., strip-tiller talks about how successful nutrient management for corn production is like a season-long, relay race.
Scott Hoober says proper nutrient uptake is key to closing the corn yield gap. And the key to uptake, he says, is getting the nutrients into the root zone. Using an application rate of 100 pounds of N and 40 pounds of P2O5 as an example, Hoober says nutrient concentrations in the root zone vary dramatically based on application method.
Constant innovation in strip-till can be challenging. Clint Robinson of Sullivan, Ill., knows. His first attempt at blending conservation techniques and soil health principles came in 2012, shortly after he moved back to the family farm.
Producers should be very cautious about applying starter fertilizer that includes high rates of N (and/or K). It is best to have some soil separation between the starter fertilizer and the seed, according to Kansas State soil fertility and nutrient management specialist Dolivar Ruiz Diaz.
The 2023 cropping season is just around the corner. Unfortunately, drought continues to influence nutrient management decisions for the upcoming season.
