Profitable Nitrogen Rates for Corn with Dr. Carrie Laboski

<p>Nitrogen is an important nutrient for corn which, when applied as a fertilizer, can increase yields. However, too much nitrogen can lead to negative impacts on human health, water quality, plant health, and the environment. This episode, Carrie discusses her work testing nitrogen rate recommendation tools and how we can best balance profitability, plant health, and the environment.</p> <p>Tune in to learn:</p> <ul> <li>What goes on the scales to determine a profitable rate</li> <li>What kinds of tools can be used to recommend Nitrogen fertilizer rates</li> <li>Which tools work best for recommending Nitrogen fertilizer rates</li> <li>How the research team was able to test across eight midwestern states</li> </ul> <p>If you would like to find transcripts for this episode or sign up for our newsletter, please visit our website: <a href= "http://fieldlabearth.libsyn.com/">http://fieldlabearth.libsyn.com/</a></p> <p>Contact us at <a href= "mailto:podcast@sciencesocieties.org">podcast@sciencesocieties.org</a> or on Twitter @FieldLabEarth if you have comments, questions, or suggestions for show topics, and if you want more content like this don’t forget to subscribe.</p> <p>If you would like to reach out to Carrie, you can find her here:<br /> <a href="mailto:laboski@wisc.edu">laboski@wisc.edu</a><br /> Twitter: @NPKetc<br /> Website: NPKetc.soils.wisc.edu</p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p>CEU Quiz: <a href= "https://web.sciencesocieties.org/Learning-Center/Courses/Course-Detail?productid=%7b7D2E93BA-187A-EC11-813E-9EA8B7C5905F%7d"> https://web.sciencesocieties.org/Learning-Center/Courses/Course-Detail?productid=%7b7D2E93BA-187A-EC11-813E-9EA8B7C5905F%7d</a> </p> <p>Introduction to Nitrogen Management YouTube Video, Part 1/4: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moBEp69PsYY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moBEp69PsYY</a></p> <p>Introduction to Nitrogen Management YouTube Video, Part 2/4: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YgHfsvaODc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YgHfsvaODc</a></p> <p>Introduc
