A digital agronomist says many farmers are skeptical about the use of crop modeling to help pinpoint nitrogen application.
David Chaffin with Yara says simulating nitrogen recommendations can allow producers to apply targeted rates within the same field. “With mapping, we can really get down to the subfield level and manage. I think that’s something not all growers completely understand yet is that you know the variably within your field. We can actually manage that on a subfield level.”
For example, different soils will have “very unique reactions to nitrogen and weather.
