On-farm nitrogen loss is one of the major issues on farming, causing lower yields and higher greenhouse gas emissions. New research from the University of the Basque Country demonstrates positive results from using nitrification inhibitors.
If you are considering fall application of anhydrous ammonia to corn fields (the only nitrogen fertilizer recommended for fall application), remember to wait until soil temperatures cool to 50 F and continue to trend colder.
