Nitrogen Management

Why so much advice on Nitrogen management? It is an imperfect science.

That said. I hope we do not start seeing Nitrogen being applied any time soon. In our area, soil temperatures should be below 50 if you are even going to try it. The Boundary is Rt 16, but I would use caution as far north as I-72. I would advise anyone in the state to use a nitrification inhibitor like N-Serve if you are fall applying. The weather is just too unpredictable. I question about the ethics of fertilizer dealers who sell N before it is time. Our soil test results show that fall applied N is not likely to be there in the spring.
