🥔 This study evaluated the economic and environmental tradeoffs of three nitrogen application rates (0, 90, and 120 kg N per hectare) in potato production.
Research in BC’s Fraser Valley examined the economic and environmental trade-offs of different nitrogen fertilization rates in potato fields. Researchers found that high application rates (120 kg N/ha) were not worth the costs – yields and revenue did not increase enough to justify the added input, and excess nitrogen led to higher nitrous oxide emissions.
