Is your N fertiliser application profitable for your current grazing rotation? Check your thinking against predicted pasture responses determined from nearly 6,000 nitrogen fertiliser experiments undertaken across southern temperate Australia over the past 40 years.
Select your season and region for the current rotation
Select your most likely pre and post-grazing dry mass for the prevailing conditions and your typical N application
Estimate your 'as spread' cost of urea and the 'equivalent market value' of extra pasture consumed
Warning: Applying less than 25 kg N/ha in any single application will often produce unpredictable N responses
Warning: Applying more than 65 kg N/ha in any single application will increase N losses
● Profit maximising N with most likely pasture consumption
● Profit maximising N with 20% better than expected pasture consumption
● Profit maximising N with 20% worse than expected pasture consumption
