When considering whether or not to add inhibitors to your sidedress application, it's important to consider what they're meant to do, how they behave and how weather conditions factor into the equation, say nutrient management specialists at the University of Minnesota Extension.

Linus Rothermich talks about the features of this 5-ton Aulari ALR2304AM air cart he uses to place fertilizer at planting and for sidedressing nitrogen for corn. He’s putting nearly all his fertilizer down with the machine and has eliminated the need to put fertilizer in the crop rows. The Auxvasse, Mo., no-tiller says he’s working to eliminate yellow, nutrient-deficient corn in spring.

Start right to finish well when managing nitrogen in corn.

Purdue University Extension offers recommendations on further nitrogen applications based on results from recent soil samples.

Based on climate and rainfall patterns observed the past few years, farmers will benefit by having options to stretch the sidedress application, says Michigan State University Extension.
