1. Assessment of Long-term Effects of Tillage and Nitrogen Management Practices on Irrigated Corn Yields and Nitrogen Use Efficiencies

Corn grain yields and crop nitrogen uptake are affected by management factors such as tillage intensity and nitrogen rates. Additional data about the long-term effects of tillage and nitrogen rates on yields and nitrogen use efficiencies of irrigated corn are needed. We are presenting preliminary results from a 17-year study about the effects of these management practices on irrigated corn yields and nitrogen uptake in a Fort Collins clay loam soil at Colorado State University’s Agricultural...
