Farmers participating in the Bay Farms On-Farm Network® gain access to a variety of tools to benefit their bottom line and the environment by improving nitrogen management. These tools help assess nitrogen status and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and profit.
Participating farmers are able to use these tools at no cost, either through project funds or enrollment in a special project for the On-Farm Network® under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. The tools include:
- Corn Stalk Nitrate Test (CSNT): Fall test to determine nitrogen use efficiency for the year.
- Aerial Imagery: Visual observation of fields to assess variability, nitrogen deficiency, and value of CSNT as an assessment tool.
- Pre Sidedress Nitrate Test (PSNT): Spring soil test to determine potential nitrogen available for the growing season.
- Replicated Strip Trials: Comparison of different rates, form, timing, and placement of nitrogen to assess efficiency and impact on yield.
