Corn School: How much side-dress nitrogen does the crop need?

- In Ontario, corn growers are approximately six weeks into the growing season and now is a great time to do a couple tests to reassess the nitrate levels and decide on what the best plan is to side-dress nitrogen, on a field by field basis.
Deb Campbell, agronomist with Agronomy Advantage, joins us for this episode of RealAgriculture's Corn School and talks all about which tests should be done and how to go about testing your fields to get the most accurate and usable information.
For this episode, we join Campbell in a corn field that is very well established at the seven-leaf stage and says although it's made good progress, the concern is now to provide enough resources to finish off the crop and ensure a satisfactory yield.
"This is a great window to reassess and and do a gut check on that nitrogen plan that we had in place. Do we increase it? Do we soften it a little bit? What's the status of this corn today? It comes down to in a lot of cases, producers use that number of a pound of nitrogen per bushel of corn, and that's still a good place to start," says Campbell.
Things to consider when reassessing includes if the crop is still on target to hit the yield potential that was set out at the beginning of the season, this along with moisture levels and how much nitrogen is in the soil currently. She says it's really helpful to do tissue sampling of the plants and to do nitrate testing in possibly up to four areas of the field, depending on landscape.
"To do a nitrate test, and to do it well so that you have reasonable confidence in the numbers that you're getting back. You want to take a 12 inch core in the field," says Campbell.

Thoughts on post-spraying RR Dwarf Field Corn with 41% Farmworks Gly PLUS 2 pts per acre Nitro Surf mixed in and spraying over leaves and all? We only have a boom sprayer and want to try and get some nitro on the plants at the same time we post-spray. Thanks!
Good evening ,I just wanted to know the spacing between rows and distance between corn thank
❤🎉
Where is corn 8-8:50????
How many days after seeding one should put the side dress? Like 25 days after?
2 weeks
@@OliviaAddison-dg6cx aint that starter fertlizer?
What is space between plants in a row ?
this is for fodder or for grains
This is for grain. Rows are 30" apart, usually.
@@RealAgricultureMedia What will be the expected yield in tons per acer ? And what is size of your acer so that I can compare your data with my work in Pakistan
@@beasmartfarmer Ask google for the answer.
What if there is a product that give the same yields without the fertilizers? For 80% less cost?
Farmers are already reducing fertilizer cost over 70% while increasing yield nearly 7% with “SNX30-XL nutrient supplement”. As one farmer puts it - It almost feels like cheating!
@@BestFarmROI Is this Mr. Lee Roberts?
Fish fertilizer works good. You could also grow it alongside beans which take up nitrous and fix it into the soil. Chicken poop or black kow works well also.
Over time to remove yields there is no what if!

Where can I get to buy one for my farm
