Getting nitrogen supply ‘less wrong’ more often

March 13, 2025

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

March 7, 2025

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.

Nitrogen Decision Making Approaches

August 27, 2024

Applying fertiliser is considered a ‘risky’ decision because of uncertainties associated with a lack of return on investment in the year of application, negative yield responses to applied N or losses of N. A range of different approaches can be applied to balance these risks and rewards.
