1. Develop and improve models to simulate N movements in the farm.

2. Impact assessment of nitrogen traits to improve maize productivity, GHG emissions in current and future climates.

3. Low kernel nitrogen

4. Nitrogen remobilization

5. Assessing the relationship of variation in stover composition with nitrogen loss.
