NE Region Adapt-N Users: We have made a minor Adapt-N update that will generally have minimal impacts, but may change some simulation results slightly. This is for your information, and in most cases does not impact your use of Adapt-N. We made an upgrade to the rooting defaults for individual soil series in the Northeast [...]

Adapt-N User Group: Here are a few more perspectives on Adapt-N: The low rainfall in much of the Corn Belt is generating questions about the generally low Adapt-N recommendations. Research has shown that in dryer years the actual recommended sidedress rate can indeed be as low as 0 lbs/ac, especially in corn after soybeans. Farmers [...]

When looking at the [...]

Adapt-N Users, We have detected a small technical problem with the updated version of the Adapt-N code. This resulted in somewhat larger simulated denitrification losses, and therefore slightly higher N recommendations. Please, note that in all cases the recommended N rates were conservative, i.e., on the high side, and this will therefore not result in [...]

(We apologize for the delayed release, which was due to some unexpected hurdles in the updating effort.) Adapt-N can now access the new expanded high resolution climate database that covers the entire [...]
