Alberta’s wheat and barley commissions have a nitrogen rate of return calculator available on their website.
The calculator, developed by well-known research agronomist Rigas Karamanos, “can be used to evaluate different net return per acre scenarios which compare different N sources and costs, various crop prices and soil test N levels,” Alberta Wheat and Barley said.
The online tool can be used for spring wheat and feed barley.
