Key Conclusions

Agromaster with 30% reduced nitrogen rate allowed to reach the same yield as Growers practice (100% N) and save on 1 fertilizer application.

Objective

To compare the performance of Agromaster 31-0-0, 2-3M, 30% coated N, with reduced N dose and lower number of passes, to Grower practice in spring nitrogen fertilization.
