“Soil tests should be pulled early in the spring before nitrogen applications are made, or in the fall after the corn crop ... is converted to nitrate (NO3). Denitrification occurs when soil ...

Crop residues that are left on the soil surface or incorporated ... nitrate can be converted to a gas by microbes and lost to the atmosphere through a process called denitrification. Nitrogen and ...

By allowing nitrogen to remain in the ammonium form longer, leaching and denitrification are significantly reduced because the nitrate form is much more susceptible to these forms of loss than the ...
