		Past experience with a particular field or the climatic conditions of a particular year are legitimate reasons to adjust the N rate recommendations obtained from the graphs.
		The system relies on tests which are field specific and is flexible to be able to be used by growers who will split their late winter/early spring N applications as well as those growers who choose not to split their N fertilizer application.
