Late-season nitrogen rescue applications aren’t always necessary—but this year, many Iowa fields are showing signs that they might be. Between above-average precipitation, early N loss, and delayed sidedress applications, the conditions for in-season N deficiency are widespread. If you see visual signs of deficiency and your crop still has strong potential, a rescue application applied as soon as possible could help recover some yield potential. Ultimately, applying some N is often better...| Integrated Crop Management
