)Nitrogen fertilizer efficiency trend in Nebraska
Even with these improvements, average N fertilizer uptake efficiency is only about 40% of applied N with average yields of about 10 Mt per hectare. A 2-fold increase is possible!

If Leaf N > above critical value, fertilizer can be reduced or eliminated for a year without impacting growth & yield (esp. on heavy-textured soils)

Volatilization-N lost directly to Volatilization-N lost directly to atmosphereatmosphere
N in ammonium and urea fertilizers may be released to the atmosphere as ammonia gas. (NH4+→ NH3)pHs >7.5 ↑ volatilization. Volatilization from fertilizers
can be ↓ by rapid incorporation

DenitrificationDenitrification
1. soil microorganisms: soil nitrates → N2.
2. N loss ↑ when soils are warm and wet. 3. Denitrification losses are typically less
than 5% but can be higher under low- oxygen conditions
![Page 23: Mineral Nutrition & Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042608/5681324d550346895d98c52d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Losses with ureaLosses with urea
Urea has no electrical charge, so it moves readily in the soil with rain or irrigation water.
Volatilization losses from urea fertilizers are low if urea fertilizers are incorporated into the soil shortly after application.

Nitrate LossesNitrate Losses
Nitrate fertilizers are generally more costly per unit of nitrogen than are ammonium fertilizers. Nitrate is highly mobile in the soil.

Nitrogen Fertilizer TimingNitrogen Fertilizer Timingand Placementand Placement
Nitrogen recovery. Fertilizer recovery is greatest when application coincides with periods of high nitrogen demand by trees

Split applications.Split applications.
A good rule of thumb is to apply one-half to two- thirds of the fertilizer nitrogen in spring, so it is available during the main flush of spring shoot growth. The remainder should be applied by later during nut fill

Best Management Practices Best Management Practices
Successful N management delivers enough N to the crop to optimize yield and profitability while ↓ losses to water and air. Everyone wants the nitrogen to end up in the crop. Thus, the best management practices (BMPs) presented here are identified as sound practices from economic, production and environmental viewpoints.
