Nutrient Management Podcast: Mastering the Pre-sidedress Nitrate Test


The pre-sidedress nitrate test (PSNT) is a tool for making decisions on supplemental nitrogen application. Taken during June prior to side-dress N application around the V6 stage of corn growth, the PSNT offers a way to assess insufficient N in the soil. It offers guidance for efficient N management, but only if carried out correctly. Listen as guests Dan Kaiser, Fabian Fernandez, Brad Carlson and Jeff Vetsch talk through how to effectively use the PSNT to manage nutrients on your farm.
