Fig. 2. Relationship between residual soil NO3N content to a 0.90-m depth and the difference between N applied and the economically optimum nitrogen application (Nop) for marketable yield under irrigated and nonirrigated conditions. N0, N50, N100, and N250 refer to 0, 50, 100, and 250 kg N ha-1 before planting.
