ESN Top-Dressing in Corn: More Flexibility, Less Crop Burn, Less N Loss

ESN Is An Excellent Option For Applying Your Entire Nitrogen (N) Needs Pre-Plant, But Don’t Forget The Benefits Of Top- Dressing ESN.

Why Top-Dress With ESN?

• ESN’s coating minimizes N loss, releasing N when the crop needs it.
• ESN has a wider window of application than conventional N sources.
• ESN is faster to apply than ammonia or solution.
• ESN can be applied under conditions not suitable for other N sources.
• ESN will not burn the crop like urea or ammonium nitrate.

ESN Top-Dress Recommendations

Northern Geographies (North of I-80)

• For maximum benefit, apply at or before V4 stage.
• Broadcast is acceptable where surface movement is minimal and soil moisture is at acceptable levels; incorporation is encouraged.
• ESN recommended at 50-75% of N requirements.

ESN Top Dress Recommendations

Southern Geographies (South of I-80)

• For maximum benefit, apply at or before V4-V6 stage.
• Broadcast is acceptable where surface movement is minimal and soil moisture is at acceptable levels; incorporation is encouraged
• ESN recommended at 60-80% of N requirements
