SciMax Nitrogen

Putting the Science Back into Nitrogen Management



What is the right rate of nitrogen for your field? SciMax has been working on a SOLUTION to this question in research plots and whole field studies. There are many variables that go into the process for writing a variable rate nitrogen recommendation, but it all starts with the soil.

The Amino Sugar Nitrogen Test was developed as a tool to help determine where to increase, maintain, or decrease nitrogen application in a field because of the spacial variability of mineralization.

Economics
  • On average, 20-25 lbs reduction in Nitrogen, over 4 years in Research and In Field Studies
  • Average yield increase of 2-4.12 bushel/acre
  • 2008 yield increase In Field Study of 350 acres was 3.9 bushel/acre
  • Average profit/acre in 2008 was $21.60
    • includes N and yield
