Abstract: A van Kuelen fertilizer response model that._empirically integrates economic, agronomic and environmental considerations was applied to an analysis of nitrogen fertilization of corn in the Coastal Plains. The resu~ts suggest that the previous emphasis in the literature on "optimal carryover rat:esH and "fertilizing the soil" are inconsistent with both economic and environmental goals.
