Product and Agronomy Research (PAR) Results: Nitrogen Management Study

BY Dairyland Seed Agronomy Team
NITROGEN MANAGEMENT

The use of biological products in crop production is becoming common place on many operations. Our Product & Agronomy Research (PAR) included a Nitrogen Management Study. The products that we looked at in this study work with the corn plant and provide nitrogen from the atmosphere. Utrisha™ N is a foliar product applied at V5 and colonizes the corn plant through the stomata, the bacteria in Utrisha N then fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere and makes it available to the corn plant while living off methanol given off by the plant. PROVEN® 40 by Pivot Bio is applied in furrow at planting and colonizes the roots of corn and works to supply the corn plant Nitrogen from the atmosphere while living off root exudates. We tested these products with 3 different total nitrogen rates. Yield expectations at Wabash, IN are 250 bushels per acre and 215 bushels per acre at St. Johns, MI. The complete trial results can be found here.
