These are from a software program for two of our fields... assuming current N cost, wheat protein spreads and $5.40/bu base price for HRS. :P

[blackpowder]

Curious which software program.

[Kodiak]

Does your software program have a maturity and lodging factor? Or are growth regulators a must? If I applied 140#N for the maximum return as per your slides, the crop would never ripen nor would it stand up.

why does yield level off at 50?

[Klause]

That's lbs of urea... not actual.


Yield levels at 50 because that's the max potential of these fields....

[furrowtickler]

I would bet that his crop will stand up because he splits his N applications - we have almost eliminated lodging in wheat by split applying N - at seeding - herbicide and fungicide time .

[fjlip]

Perhaps our fields are similar, 160 lbs of urea made 52 bu, but protein was 12.5-13%, a touch low. Does not lodge here at those rates, Utmost anyway.

The U of Montana has that App. It's actually free.


Don't have the link with me.
