Post-Emergent Nitrogen Applications Have Potential for Increasing N-use Efficiency in Spring Grains Drs. G. Lafond, S. Brandt, W. May, C. Holzapfel and A. Johnston Provisos are that some starter N is applied at time of seeding, but the amount of starter N is dependent on how much risk the grower is willing to assume by going with more N after crop emergence.
