Advanced Nitrogen Smart: Adapting nitrogen management to climate
Over the past decades, precipitation and temperature patterns have shifted. Some of these shifts are dramatic while others are more subtle, but they all play a significant role in the nitrogen cycle and loss potential. In this course, you will take a closer look at these shifting patterns and how you can adjust nitrogen management to maintain profitability while minimizing losses. Topics include
- Drivers of the nitrogen cycle.
- Connecting climate to the nitrogen cycle
- Connecting climate to the 4Rs
- Connecting climate to nitrogen management
- Adjusting source, rate and application method
It is strongly recommended that you complete both the Fundamentals course and A deep dive into the 4Rs before taking this course.
