Model description

AmaizeN is a decision support system to help maize growers schedule nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications for site-specific maize crops. It forecasts crop yields and N-fertilizer application rates for potential yield and best economic returns, and predicts the consequences of user management decisions. It takes into account both crop production and environmental impact.
