Recent years of high rainfall and prolonged wet soil conditions in Iowa have renewed interest to protect losses of fertilizer nitrogen (N) in corn. This study evaluated effect of N additives and a slow‐release urea product on the soil NO 3 –N fraction of total inorganic N, mid–vegetative growth N stress, grain yield, and corn nitrogen use efficiency.
