Abstract

The University of Minnesota Supplemental Fertilizer N Worksheet was developed as a simple, quick, reliable, and inexpensive alternative decision aid tool to assess potential fertilizer N losses. The worksheet is a series of three questions with multiple-choice answers. Depending on the answers, numbers are assigned for each question that are summed, and then the recommendation is made for supplemental N applications. It has been used with success for 10 years in Minnesota as a decision aid as well as an educational tool regarding fertilizer N management strategies.
