Abstract
With economic conditions as they are, crop producers need to effectively use all the resources available to them. To help offset high N fertilizer prices, one resource that may be used to significantly reduce production costs is the organic N accumulated in and on soils. When crops are planted into a tilled sod the requirement for added N fertilizer will usually be less than on land previously in row crops. The following discussion considers the processes and factors determining the quantity and availability of N in a sod, and offers some guidelines for estimating the N value of a sod.
