Soil Nitrate Production vs. Crop Nitrate Uptake
In the shaded areas, the soil produces nitrate, but there is no crop to use it.
As a result, some nitrate is lost to waterways.
March February
Rate of soil nitrate production from native soil organic matter
Rate of corn or soybean nitrate uptakeThe majority of nitrate used by corn and soybean comes from soil nitrate production. Corn gets the difference from fertilizer while soybean gets the difference from legume fixation of atmospheric nitrogen.
