Nitrogen rate additional requirements

• For best results, only use N sources without additional nutrients in the formulation when applying the different rates. Applications of starter, AMS, MAP, DAP, or blends of products should not be used for the nitrogen rate difference.
• 30 lb N/acre minimum rate separation
• No manure or alfalfa history within the past two years for this trial

Examples

Preplant: Urea 60 lb N/acre vs 30 lb N/acre
Side dress: 28% UAN 20 gal (60 lb N/acre) vs 10 gal (30 lb N/acre)
Evaluate first and/or second year manure nitrogen credits

Nitrogen rate after manure additional requirements

• Use the same commercial nitrogen source applied at a different rate only following manure (30 lb N/acre minimum rate separation)
• Use the same manure source, rate and application method over the field area
• Account for manure source, analysis, application rate, and appropriate credits in the Crop Management Form
• Current manure test for nitrogen should meet current local and state permitted standards 

Examples

N-Serve, Instinct, ESN, Agrotain

Nitrogen stabilizer additional requirements

• Use the same nitrogen rate, source, timing, and placement for both treatments
• Comparisons between different stabilizer products, or blends of products, can be used as long as all other inputs are consistent
• Read and follow the stabilizer label for the recommended application rates
• Manure applications with a stabilizer are eligible. Provide manure information on Crop Management Form. Please contact NMI Representative first

Examples

Fall vs Spring
All Preplant vs Side dress/Split

Nitrogen timing additional requirements

• For best results, use the same nitrogen source applied at a different time
• Use the same equipment for both treatments applied at a different time only
• Manure applications are eligible. Provide manure information on Crop Management Form
