The director of agronomy for Iowa-based Landus Cooperative, Todd Claussen, is advising farmers to use a nitrogen stabilizer with their spring applications of anhydrous ammonia.
“Spring ammonia applications have generally gone out without a nitrogen stabilizer, because you think you’re more efficient, you’re in the spring, and you’re closer to when the crop needs it,” Claussen says. “The fact is, if a nitrogen stabilizer is valuable in the fall, it’s equally as valuable in the spring.”
Claussen says their research shows an eight bushel corn yield increase when using a stabilizer with spring ammonia applications.
