$202/acre
Yara has conducted trials during the 2022 growing season with the objective of evaluating the impact of available calcium and nitrate nitrogen from YaraLiva® CN-9® on yield, size profile and quality at harvest, and storage quality in potatoes in the Red River Valley of Minnesota.
Here are some of the key findings:
Trial Basic Information
- Target crop: potato
- Variety: Russet Burbank
- Location: Clitherall, MN
- Product: YaraLiva CN-9
- Trial date: 2022

Treatment
YaraLiva CN-9 was applied starting at tuber initiation. A total volume of 45 gpa was applied over multiple passes. Nitrogen was balanced with the control by applying UAN28 to meet total nitrogen needs of the crop. In the control, UAN28 was spoon-fed through the pivot to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop.
