Using Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers for Corn and Wheat

Chuck Zimmerman

Greg SchwabUsing enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEF’s) in corn and wheat was the subject of a presentation by Greg Schwab, University of Kentucky, at the Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer Conference. We’re just starting to see these products make their way into large acre crop use.

I spoke to Greg after his presentation and he says he works very closely with farmers and crop consultants. They want to know how these products will affect yield. So, he works in field environments testing various EEF, especially the stabilized nitrogen products. He’s found that some products work very well and some don’t in his environment. He says farmers need to take into account all the elements of their system and perhaps seek some advice from a professional. I also asked him how these products fit into precision application mechanisms and he says they do so very well, especially when it comes to controlling rates.
