A trial in Idaho shows the value and flexibility of ESN Smart Nitrogen in malt barley production near Sun Valley. A 50:50 blend of ESN and urea out-yielded conventional urea applications. Figures below show yield gains observed in this farmer trial.
A pre-plant application of ESN and urea increased malt barley yields by 7 bu/acre over a single application of urea.
At $6.80/bu for malt barley, profit increase from a 50:50 blend of ESN and urea is $37/acre more than urea alone.
