see that reducing side-dress by more than 25% resulted in significant losses. When we graph the yield results and apply a regression line to the yields compared to the application we can see that there is an excellent linear response to the side-dress application. We observed that the increase in yield over the 100% application rate is due to the excellent grain fill conditions that we were blessed with this fall.
