Nitrogen fertilizer application rates do not significantly affect the moisture content of corn grains. Increasing nitrogen application delays certain growth stages of corn, but the difference in grain moisture content between different nitrogen levels is small. This suggests that nitrogen application should not be a major factor considered in corn grain moisture content for agricultural production.
