Fall Anhydrous Ammonia and Profitability
As fall nitrogen application season approaches, we summarize the fall application practices on farms enrolled in Precision Conservation Management (PCM).
On average, fields in PCM that received fall-applied anhydrous ammonia had higher returns when nitrogen application rates were near MRTNs. We did not find higher profitability for fields that applied nitrogen after planting, perhaps because nitrogen was well above MRTNs for both sets of fields that received and did not receive post-plant applications.
