ESN Increases Protein Levels And Feed Value Of Corn Silage

Results of replicated plot studies from the University of Idaho showed that ESN increased protein content of corn silage from 6.8 to 7.3 % while increasing yields from 27.6 ton per acre to 30.0 tons per acre. Trials conducted in 2005 suggest that more nitrogen availability later in the ear development will increase the value of the grain to livestock feeders and millers.

This study is another demonstration that one application of ESN can replace multiple applications of conventional nitrogen (N) sources and produce equal or greater yields. Also shown is that the improved efficiency of ESN can maintain crop yields at lower rates of fertilizer N.
