Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Spatial yield variability existed at all sites in dry years (1999 and 2001).
- Observation Spatial yield variability existed at only two sites in a wet year (2000).
- Observation Spatial yield difference variability in response to N existed at two of 13 site–year comparisons.
- Observation At a nonmanured site, temporal yield stability across dry years was associated with spatial yield difference variability in response to N (r = 0.96).
- Observation Spatial yield difference variability between hybrids existed at four of 15 site–year comparisons.
- Observation Spatial yield difference variability in response to N did not exist in the wet year on manured fields.
- Observation Soil NO3-N concentrations in the upper 30 cm were below 25 mg/kg on some manured fields in the wet year.
- Recommendation Variable N rate management of corn requires more information than soil NO3-N concentrations and yield maps.
- Recommendation Adoption of variable hybrid selection is unlikely when hybrids interact with sites but show no spatial yield difference variability within sites.
