Those healthy looking soybeans may be hiding a hunger for nitrogen that could deliver higher yields. The oilseed’s nitrogen needs have been much studied over the years with researchers generally agreeing higher rates of nitrogen don’t pay, but that may not be the case when growers push for higher yields.

Managing for nitrogen crop needs is a main driver for achieving top yields. Nitrogen fertilizer, however, is also prone to a few forms of losses: by water, and by air. All of these losses, by denitrification, leaching, or immobilization, can cost in underused or unused fertilizer, and losses by nitrous oxide emissions drag on the.
