Characteristic of best treatment Although the application rates of N was reduced by 30% , the total yield was increased by 10%
Conclusions This experiment clearly showed that the high efficiency use of Multicote Agri (applied as pre planting) allows to reduce significantly the nutrients application rates without any reduction in crop yield
