What Beck’s set out to test
The purpose of this study is to evaluate different sidedress depths and their impact on yield.
What they found

Shallow placement of nitrogen increases the opportunity for loss through volatilization from an open slot and/or surface splashing. Deeper placement puts the nitrogen closer to the root zone, which might be important in drier years like 2023.
