Key Conclusions

Application of Agrocote 1-2M with reduced nitrogen rate (80% N) in autumn resulted in 19% higher yield comparing to Stabilized nitrogen fertilizer (SN26) with 100% N rate, and 50% higher NUE.

Objective

Evaluate the performance of Agrocote 44-0-0, 1-2M, 100% coated N (eqo.x release technology) in high nitrogen demanding leek crop, comparing to stabilized nitrogen fertilizer (SN26).
