How Much N Is Needed When


The take-away? Dividing your N applications evenly over the growing season (25% in May, June, July and August) will increase nitrogen use efficiency. Whatever number of applications you apply, remember that N can only be taken up when there are leaves on the tree; the first month of growth uses stored N, not N from the soil; and N uptake is complete by the end of August
