- Intervention effect Ammonium-N losses were lower under subsurface than surface application.
- Observation Nitrogen use efficiency was highest with surface application, at 103%.
- Observation Nitrogen use efficiency was lowest with subsurface application, at 84%.
- Intervention effect Partial factor productivity was higher with 25% less nitrogen than with 25% excess and conventional practice.
