Nitrogen, moves readily in the soil and availability can vary greatly throughout a field. This means that when plants require Nitrogen there may not be enough in certain areas of a field to supply crop needs. Depending on soil type, rainfall and placement, spring applied Nitrogen may not provide the Nitrogen the plants require later in the growing season. Nitrogen is critical to plant growth and reproduction and enters the plant in either the nitrate or ammonia form. Nitrogen uptake by the developing crop occurs early in the plant’s growth. Most of the nitrogen is absorbed by the time of heading. That is why it is crucial to have sufficient nitrogen available in the early stages of plant growth.
