We know that nitrogen is an important element. It makes up 78% of our atmosphere and is a key component in plant growth. But how do plants utilize this key nutrient? What role does nitrogen play as a crop nutrient? How do the three types of nitrogen loss differ?

Answers to these questions and more are highlighted in this Field Notes video from Koch Agronomic Services (Koch).

Hear from two experts on the subject, Tim Laatsch and Dr. Emerson Nafziger. Laatsch is a farmer and technical agronomy manager for Koch. Dr. Nafziger is professor emeritus of crop sciences at the University of Illinois with nearly 40 years of agriculture research experience.
