Join local experts to learn a variable-rate fertilization strategy that relies on maps of wheat yield and protein to identify nitrogen deficient areas within fields. You’ll see how fields can be divided into management zones for soil testing and variable-rate application. Participants will be introduced to Yield Editor to edit, process, and map yield data along with practical demonstrations of computing various crop N map products that are useful for yield map interpretation.
Register by email to Dr. Dan Long at Daniel.S.Long@USDA.gov before October 31
