High Nitrogen Rates Increase Micronutrient Uptake, Storage In Corn

November 1, 2013 | Posted in Nutrient Management

A Purdue University study shows that high-yielding, modern corn hybrids take up not only more nitrogen from soil but more micronutrients such as zinc, iron, manganese and copper. Nitrogen fertilizer rates also influence how much of these nutrients are stored in the grain at harvest.
