About Paper:

Nitrogen(N) deficiency in corn directly impacts grain yield and is one of the most commonly faced problems by corn growers. The uptake of N by corn can be stifled by losses to air and soil, chemical problems like volatilization and denitrification, and the application of too much or too little nitrogen. Application of N to corn comes in many different forms that try to increase the efficiency of N uptake by corn in different ways. Our research focuses on evaluating the effects and efficiency of these different forms of application and of different fertilizers. Research was conducted in many small corn fields at the Agronomy Center for Research and Education(ACRE) and the Pinney Purdue Agriculture Center(PPAC) . Each field tests different products and application methods with many plots in 1 field containing different variables. Some of the other study fields include evaluating the efficiency of different corn hybrids as well as testing experimental products for private agricultural companies.
