  1. Current KSU N recommendations for corn & wheat John Schmidt Alan Schlegel Kansas State University

  2. Development of current N recommendations • Based on historical recommendations / concepts • Modified to include soil N “mineralization potential” • “Loosely” updated with more recent field research results • Emphasis on Extension education tool

  3. Corn N recommendation • N rec = • (Yield Goal x 1.6) – (SOM x 20) – Profile N – Manure N – Irr. Water N + Previous crop adj. • Yield goal, bu acre-1 • Soil organic matter, % • Profile soil N test, lb acre-1, 0-2 ft, (0.3 x sampling depth, inches x NO3-N, ppm) • Manure N applied, lb acre-1 • Irrigation water N applied, lb acre-1 • Previous crop adjustment, lb acre-1

  4. Corn N recommendation, STN = 30 lb N acre-1 Soil OM, % N rec = (Yield Goal x 1.6) – (SOM x 20) – Profile N – Manure N – Irr. Water N + Previous crop adj.

  8. Wheat N recommendation • N rec = • (Yield Goal x 2.4) – (SOM x 10) – Profile N – Manure N + Previous crop adj. + Tillage adj. + Grazing adj. • Yield goal, bu acre-1 • Soil organic matter, % • Profile soil N test, lb acre-1, 0-2 ft, (0.3 x sampling depth, inches x NO3-N, ppm) • Manure N applied, lb acre-1 • Previous crop adjustment, lb acre-1 • Tillage adjustment, 20 lb acre-1 for no-till • Grazing adjustment, 40 lb acre-1 per 100 lb beef weight gain

  9. Wheat N recommendation, STN = 30 lb N acre-1 Soil OM, % N rec = (Yield Goal x 2.4) – (SOM x 10) – Profile N – Manure N + Previous crop adj. + Tillage adj. + Grazing adj.
