Economic and Environmental Implications of Sensor-based N Management. Better Crops With Plant Food. XCIV (94):4-6. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Active-light reflectance sensors are currently being studied as a tool to guide inseason “reactive” N application. A recent study evaluated the potential economic benefit and environmental implications for sensor-based N application in corn. Economic benefits and N savings were found for most fields. Results from this study support the continued development of sensor-based technology for in-season N management. |
