Abstract: An economic model is developed to determine optimal nitrogen fertilization policies for seeded grasses in semiarid regions where nitrogen carry-over is significant. The problem is cast in the framework of stochastic dynamic programming and an application of the model is made at two sites in the Nothern Great Plains. A new statistical method was used to estimate carry-over nitrogen and the forage yield-response function simultaneously. Nitrogen carry-over was estimated implicitly through yield response without direct measurements of nitrogen.
