Virginia No-Till Fact Sheet Series Number Five: Understanding Ammonia Volatilization from Fertilizers | Loss of nitrogen (N) as ammonia gas (NH3) is known as volatilization. While
volatilization directly from soil can occur, such loss is generally relatively small
compared to the amount that can be lost from fertilizers. Volatilization losses can be
significant with granular urea and urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) sources, but the amount
of loss varies greatly depending on placement of the fertilizer, soil pH, soil texture,
and climatic conditions after application. |

Virginia No-Till Fact Sheet Series Number Two: Nitrogen Fertilizer Injection in No-Till Systems | Liquid nitrogen fertilizers have typically been surface applied. This method of
application places the fertilizer where the urea nitrogen component of the solution is
susceptible to volatilization losses. |

Corn Planting Dates in the Piedmont and Valley Regions of Virginia: How Early is Early? | Early-planted corn generally produces higher yields than later-planted corn due to improved utilization of sunlight during the long days of June and July, assuming moisture is adequate. Also, silage harvest can begin earlier and drying costs are reduced for grain corn; and earlier harvest enables growers to begin preparation for the fall seeding of small grain crops. |

Sources of Lime for Acid Soils in Virginia | Acid soil limits crop yields on many Virginia farms. This soil acidity can be directly toxic to plants, but more often it reduces the plants' efficiency at nutrient utilization. |
