How much nitrogen fertilizer do corn fields need to ensure optimal yields? This question challenges farmers and agricultural researchers as uncertainty often blurs the answer.

A new Purdue-led study published in Nature Communications shows that properly accounting for this uncertainty in nitrogen recommendations can improve crop production, increase farmer profits and reduce environmental costs by helping growers avoid unacceptable risks.

With the U.S. producing nearly one-third of the world’s corn supply, Ignacio Ciampitti, professor of Purdue Agronomy, says this isn’t an issue for farmers – it’s an issue that affects everyone.

“Purdue has always had a special place in my heart since both of my grandfathers attended in the ’60s, and my parents met each other here in the ’90s! Seeing Purdue’s reputation in agriculture grow over the years made it my top choice for graduate school.” — Susanna Berg, Purdue Agronomy
