New Ohio Recommended Corn Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates Now Available Steve Culman, Anthony Fulford, Peter Thomison, Rich Minyo, Eric Richer, CCA, Harold D. Watters, CPAg/CCA, Greg LaBarge, CCA, Joe Nester, Karen Chapman Ohio State University corn nitrogen rate recommendations follow a unified framework used throughout the Corn Belt. Together with six other states (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin), the Ohio recommended nitrogen rates are not based on yield goals, but on economic returns. Corn yield responses along with corn and nitrogen prices are used to calculate the point at which the last unit of added nitrogen returns a yield increase large enough to pay for the added nitrogen cost.https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2018-07/new-ohio-recommended-corn-nitrogen-fertilizer-rates-now-available

Pay Attention to Nozzle Selection to Meet Label Requirements for the New 2,4-D and Dicamba Products Erdal Ozkan Generally, this is the time of the year you complete shopping for nozzles because the spraying season is just around the corner. This task must be on top of your to do list if you are one of those who will be applying the new 2,4-D or Dicamba products for crops that are resistant to these products. If you plan to use Dicamba products for weed control, you better check the labels because you now have to use one of the nozzles they recommend on their labels, and operate those nozzle within a recommended range of pressures.https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2018-07/pay-attention-nozzle-selection-meet-label-requirements-new-24-d
