| dc.description.abstract | We are reporting on one year of results of an experiment to evaluate the potential for variable rate application of N, P, and seed to increase the economic returns for stubble-seeded spring wheat on rolling landscapes in the Brown soil zone. There was little yield response to either P or seeding rates and no important differences in the response by landscape position. There was a good yield response to N and the response was greater on the lower slopes than the upper slopes. However, a simple economic analysis showed that there was no economic advantage to varying the N rate by landscape position and, in fact, an economic disadvantage to varying N rate when using a single N-P fertilizer blend. | en_US |
