Soil & Water Science<br />
Excessive N Fertilization Rates Increase Residual Soil-nitrate N<br />
In a three-year test 120 lb of N/acre produced optimum yield of cotton. Residual soilnitrate N<br />
measurements are shown in the graph below. A 60 lb/acre rate of N did not increase residual soil nitrate<br />
compared to an unfertilized treatment. Residual soil-nitrate N below 3 ft was 67% higher with a 120 lb/acre rate<br />
of N and 90% higher with a 180 lb/acre rate of N than an unfertilized treatment. Higher levels of residual<br />
soil-nitrate N increase the risk of groundwater contamination with nitrates. (Rhoads, NFREC News, 1-06)
