Expensive nitrogen fertilizer prices have many producers looking to change their nitrogen management program. Moving a portion of a planned nitrogen application into late June or even early July offers a lower risk of nitrogen loss to heavy rains and the opportunity to take advantage of any price reduction that may happen through May and June. Typically, local fertilizer dealers will discount their liquid nitrogen in late June and early July to reduce carryover supplies into the next season.
Nitrogen prices spawn interest in fertigation
Fertigation is a last chance option for nitrogen fertilizer application. It provides an economic and environmental advantage by reducing losses to air and groundwater.
