With N prices as they are, just some food for thought. This is approx N lb needed month-to-month for a 200bu corn crop. This assumes 1.2lb N/bu, which is not universal. Soil type obviously plays into this decision, along with equipment, time, on-farm storage, etc.
You can't manage what you don't measure. Are you matching your irrigation applications to your root depth? @CropMetrics@crop_x irrigation tech gives you eyes and ears below grade, helping you maximize your inputs and only irrigating when you need to!
I've said this many times before, but just had a moment that reinforced it yet again:
Emotions and agriculture should not mix.
If someone is starting drama, end it. Life is short, and life is good. Each day brings its own challenges. Don't add to them unnecessarily.
Overly-general chart, but serves the point. When are nutrients most needed? When are diffusion gradients likely the steepest? When is biology most active? When is it not? Where are those populations? What has biology been shown to do?
