Fig. 1. Chlorophyll meter (CM) readings at the R1 corn growth stage as related to the nitrogen rate difference (ND) from the economic optimum nitrogen rate (EONR) for corn following soybean (SC), 74 site-years in 1999–2005; and for continuous corn (CC), 28 site-years in 1999–2004. Regression curves were generated from regression models given in Table 1. The UCL and LCL represent the upper and lower confidence limits (95%), respectively, of the fitted regression model.

Fig. 2. Relative chlorophyll meter (RCM) values at the R1 corn growth stage as related to the nitrogen rate difference (ND) from the economic optimum nitrogen rate (EONR) for corn following soybean (SC), 74 site-years in 1999–2005; and continuous corn (CC), 28 site-years in 1999–2004. Regression curves were generated from regression models given in Table 1. The UCL and LCL represent the upper and lower confidence limits (95%), respectively, of the fitted regression curve model.

Fig. 3. Average chlorophyll meter (CM) readings at the V8, V15, R1, and R3 corn growth stages as related to the nitrogen rate difference (ND) from the economic optimum Nitrogen rate (EONR), corn following soybean (SC) and continuous corn (CC) from five sites in 2003. Response curves were generated from regression models given in Table 2.
