Hello. I am planning to plant corn by using no-till seeder into alfalfa and vetch mixed with peas fields.
My question is can we eliminate the nitrogen 100 % and get the same yield ? Thank you
It is going to take some trials to see if you can truly get away from it 100% while maintaining the yields you want. Every farm is different. If your not planning on going organic, then some nitrogen can be very beneficial. The more nitrogen you can cut out, the more money you can save especially with todays prices. The covers crops are also going to help build your soil changing your biology, which is worth something in my opinion.
