A mechanistic model for determining factors that influence inorganic nitrogen fate in corn cultivation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: had limited impact on plant nitrogen content, while decreasing wasted nitrogen fertilizer by 25%. Delayed application until June significantly increased the f-NUE and denitrification while reducing the amount of fertilizer leached and exported through tile drainage. The value in a model like the one presented herein, is the ability to perturb the system through manipulation of variables representative of a specific scenario of interest to inform how one can improve crop-based nitrogen management.
