In Kansas, a large percentage of fertilizer nitrogen is used for agricultural purposes. The same principles and some of the same practices also apply to landscape and other nonagricultural uses. Apply the nitrogen at the right time, either as a single application or in two or more split applications. The importance of developing an overall nitrogen management strategy should not be underestimated. Once nitrogen is applied to the soil, it is very dynamic and can be difficult to control.
Effective management is based on an understanding of the nitrogen cycle.
