Modeling Long Term Corn Yield Response to Nitrogen Rate and Crop Rotation

Modeling Long Term Corn Yield Response to Nitrogen Rate and Crop Rotation

Improved prediction of optimal N fertilizer rates for corn (Zea mays L.) can reduce N losses and increase profits. We tested the ability of the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) to simulate corn and soybean (Glycine max L.) yields, the economic optimum N rate (EONR) using a 16-year...
