The article offers information on effects of the price of crops on the optimum fertilizer rate by illustrating the example of corn crop. It mentions an online Excel tool called as KSU-NPI_CropBudgets to estimate impact of prices of crop and the fertilizer used during cultivation on the nutrient application involving nitrogen and phosphorus. It concludes that farmers should analyze the agronomic data as per the maximum economic yield (MEY) program before reacting to the crop market.
