How late can you apply?
Planned single application: as late as V11?Northern data needed
With modest preplant N: later yet
How late can you apply?
Planned single application: as late as V11?Northern data needed
With modest preplant N: later yet
As a rescue application: at least silking

Effect of sensor timing on accuracy
Chlorophyll meter prediction of N rate V5 to V9, R2 = 0.53 V10 to R1, R2 = 0.66
Chlorophyll meter: equation changes as season progresses
