Figure 3. The effect of N rate on grain protein concentration of corn grown at four locations in Illinois in 2006.

At each location data are the average of four hybrids and four plant populations.  Soybean was the previous crop at all locations except Champaign which also included corn as the previous crop. Protein response to N fertilizer differed among locations (p<0.01) and between corn and soybean as previous crops (p<0.01).
