Yield-Nitrogen Calculation Factors in Prices
Agronomists from seven Corn Belt states have developed a new approach to
nitrogen rate recommendations. Their approach determines the net return on
nitrogen application by subtracting the cost of the nitrogen from the value of the increased corn yield due to that nitrogen. The approach, referred to as Maximum Return to N (MRTN), is based on hundreds of nitrogen rate trials
conducted in several states. To try an MRTN rate calculator, click here.
