AFREC research is incorporated into the University of Minnesota’s crop-specific fertilizer guidelines, which are available online at z.umn.edu/CropNutrients

AFREC research findings are communicated by University of Minnesota Extension specialists and educators through:

• • U of M Extension’s website: z.umn.edu/NutrientManagement
  • The Minnesota Crop News blog & email newsletters: z.umn.edu/CropNews
  • YouTube videos: z.umn.edu/NMvideos
  • The Nutrient Management Podcast: z.umn.edu/NMpod
  • Facebook: Facebook.com/UMNnutrientMgmt
  • Twitter: @UMNnutrientMgmt

AFREC funding supports the annual Nutrient Management Conference (z.umn.edu/NMcon) and Nitrogen Conference (z.umn.edu/Ncon). Both conferences feature presentations on AFREC research projects and allow attendees to ask questions and interact with AFREC-funded researchers.

AFREC research contributes to the database used for the regional corn nitrogen rate calculator: z.umn.edu/Ncalculator. The calculator allows users to input corn and nitrogen fertilizer prices to receive nitrogen rate recommendations based on recent research data from their state.
