The nitrogen bank for higher yields and lower emissions

Analysis of the impact of nitrogen decision-making systems indicates that yield does not need to be sacrificed to achieve environmental gains

Getting nitrogen supply ‘less wrong’ more often

Getting the N supply to a crop ‘right’ in any one year is incredibly difficult, so that in any one year it is often ‘wrong’. So, given this uncertainty the question is, can we find an N supply target (i.e. soil mineral N and fertiliser to be applied) that we could aim for year-in, year-out, that means we get the N rate we apply ‘less wrong’ more often.

Nitrogen fertiliser decisions – the good, the right and the risky

It is difficult to make the ‘right’ N decision every year, but ‘good’ decisions are relatively easy and are more likely to be ‘right’, particularly when reviewed over several years.
