North Texas Panhandle Dumas Texas | In our area nearly all N is applied to corn thru the pivot, mostly as needed with peak N use being in the ten to twelve days before tassel. Mabe as much as 30 to 40% applied in the reproductive stage after tassel.
What is your yield goal? Here 215 lbs N/acre applied thru the pivot at the right timing will grow about 270 bushels per acre.
Fertigation is the most efficient N application system, but we are in an arid area and irrigate thru the entire growing season appling as much as 25 inches of irrigation water.
We incorporate a soil and tissue sampling system to help determine the right amount at the right time.
