The Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) Project offers farmers and consultants the tools necessary to form a roadmap that supports how and why nitrogen is supplied. Project participants work with Discovery Farms to evaluate their current nitrogen management practices in order to fine-tune cropping systems.
Our established dataset has enabled us to create Wisconsin-specific benchmarks for Nitrogen Use Efficiency as a way for farmers to see how their efficiencies relate to other farms in the state.
Nitrogen Use Efficiency: A guide to conducting your own assessment
Are you interested in monitoring Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) on your own fields? UW Discovery Farms has created a guide that will lead you through the process of conducting your own NUE study. Calculating NUE can be relatively simple and offers insight into how N management can be altered in order to achieve economically optimum yields while reducing nutrient losses to the environment.
