Managing Nitrate in Drought Stressed Corn

Managing nitrate in drought stressed corn has been the topic of the fall at the lab. But before sending in a sample, ask yourself this question:

Am I submitting a sample to understand agronomics of nitrate in my plants?
Or am I submitting a sample to find out if nitrate levels are harmful if stalks are fed to livestock?

Ward Laboratories, Inc. experts, Dr. Nick Ward, Rebecca Kern-Lunbery, and Dr. Ray Ward discuss ideas for managing nitrate in drought stressed corn from both an agronomic and livestock feed perspective.

Before submitting a sample, please watch this video closely to note the difference in sampling procedure for sampling corn stalks for agronomic use vs feed!
