In general, V10 late-season nitrogen sidedress applications resulted in yield gains of
3.03 Bu./A. along with economic gains of $12.57/A. when compared to the growers
normal earlier sidedress program.
The 75% of the late-season sidedress timing trials that proved economic gains
averaged increases of $22.09/A. Although the other 33% did not prove positive, the
average return losses were within an average of $6.46/A. of the grower’s normal
program.
