Just thought it was high time to say THANK YOU for providing all this info. It has certainly helped to negate off and on (mainly off) doubts about NPK

>Due to nutrient-poor soils, large commercial Brazilian farmers, hoping to capture the high international prices of corn, will boost output from their fields by fertilizing more heavily with urea to reach similar yield levels of Iowa farms in the United States. But this runs costs up to twice that of a soy field. Average Brazilian corn yields are just over 4 metric tones a hectare, though with enough fertilizer they can approximate the state-of-the-art U.S. yields of over 7 metric tones/hectare.< It also helps to have state-of-the-art seed from MON.
