In 2015, for example, the highest extra yields were achieved by applying 90 kg N/ha into soil containing 9.4 mg of nitrate-N. The yield response back then was 35.2 tons (8.8 tons extra compared to reference yield, or 33.3%). In 2016 and 2017, application rate was 60 kg N/ha and higher, considering that nitrate-N in one kg of 0–40-cm soil amounted to 27.8 mg and 24.9 mg, respectively. In this case, extra yield was 52.7 tons, or 39.2%. However, difference in yield response between N30 and N60 in 2016 was only 1.1 tons, or 4%, so latter use is not economically justified, according to calculations (Table 6). This gives reason to believe that brining nitrate-N down to 27.8 mg/kg does not make sense.
