This dataset is based on field-guided corn stalk nitrate test surveys across the US Midwest from 2006 to 2018. In total, measurements from 10,675 corn fields were collected which represents 32,025 corn stalk nitrate measurements. Nitrogen form (commonly referred to as N source10) and the total N rate applied, US state, year of harvest, and climatic conditions are included for each site-year (trial location by growing season combination). When available, previous crop, manure source, tillage, and timing of N application are also included.

Intended use

This project generated data that can provide a comprehensive understanding of corn stalk nitrogen (N) status and nitrogen management in several Midwest states. Scientists, farmers and policymakers can gain insights into the impacts of N management and weather variables on corn N status.

Use limitations

One of the caveats of the dataset is that crop management information is not consistently informed for all fields. Field management variables have been simplified to be able to combine data from different sources. Also, as yield data were not reported, the relationship between yield and corn stalk nitrate test category or between yield and nitrogen application rate cannot be explored. Out of 10,675 corn fields, 80 had a total N rate higher than 450 kg/ha (400 lb/ac). As most of them had manure as the main N form applied, we suspect that the value informed is too high because of the use of inappropriate manure book values (total N content in % per manure dry matter) rather than manure nutrient analysis.
