Fig. 1. Quadratic-plateau fit of corn grain yield response to N applied at VT (NVT) for different rates of N applied at planting (NPL) at (a) the Tidewater Research Station (TRS, Site 6) during 2000 and (b) the Peanut Belt Research Station (PBRS, Site 9) during 2001. Each point is the mean of three replicates.
