- Association As the data suggest, N leaching increased with fertilizer application in areas with precipitation greater than 900 mm.
- Method / resource The Nitrogen Index was able to assess management practices’ effects on N uptake, with significant effects.
- Method / resource The Nitrogen Index was able to assess management practices’ effects on N use efficiency, with significant effects.
- Method / resource The Nitrogen Index was able to assess management practices’ effects on the risk of N losses.
- Recommendation The authors recommend that the Nitrogen Index could be used to increase use of best management practices in these corn systems.
