Farmer in Focus: Terry Cox

Introduction

Why are N decisions difficult?

3 main takeaways

Partial N balance

There are many ways of getting N 'right'

Reviewing decisions

N application timing

Conclusion

Dr. Yolanda Plowman sat down with Dr. Corinne Celestina to discuss the findings from RiskWi$e's nitrogen (N) field trials. Corinne and Yolanda cover three main findings from the trials including the value of calculating your partial N balance. This is as easy as calculating N input as fertilizer or fixation (if you are growing a legume) and export as grain. This partial N balance can help you figure out whether you are losing or building N in your system. We hope you enjoy!
