Nitrogen Fertilization of No-Tillage Winter Cereals in the South-Central Region of Paraná, Brazil

ABSTRACT High winter cereal yields depend on an adequate supply of nitrogen (N). We developed a system for indicating N rates for wheat and barley in the South-Central region of the state of Parana, Brazil, using results of 72 field experiments conducted from 2007 to 2012. The N rates recommended for winter cereals were estimated to supply the amounts of N fertilizer needed to obtain increasing yields (5.5 Mg ha-1) of crops grown after soybean and corn on soils with [...]
