Recent reports indicate that new corn hybrids have a tendency to take up more nitrogen during the latter part of the growing season. Does Adapt-N account for that?

Adapt-N calculates the N rate recommendation by considering total seasonal uptake, as well as conditions during the season. Although newer hybrids take up more N during the latter part of the season, the total N uptake per unit of yield remains fairly constant. The Adapt-N tool therefore accounts for these new trends in N uptake patterns. In fact, the tool offers an excellent opportunity to monitor the need for such additional nitrogen as the growing season develops.
