Aims

This paper investigates three different evidence based approaches for variable rate nitrogen management. Investigating some of the pros and cons of the different methods and presenting a couple of local case studies.

Key messages
  • There is no one size fits all approach to Variable Rate Nitrogen
  • Look for proven strategies that are supported by science and focused on measuring Nitrogen in the soil profile.
  • Choose an approach that reflects your system, budget and Nitrogen management strategies.
