[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 513870, member: 6543"] I work for a soil and water conservation district. We have two no till drills for rental. Each drill has two big seed boxes and a small legume box. People all the time want to put fertilizer in the seed boxes. I tell em that is fine but if you corrode my drill with your fertilizer then it will soon be your drill. Most elect to have the fertilizer company spread the fertilizer. Phosphorous is realtively immobile. However it is immobile because it attaches readily to soil particles. It does not make too much difference if the phosphorous is touching the roots. The plant has the ability to bind with the soil and take up phosphorous. Phosphorous levels in the soil just have to be adequate. Actually an early fall broadcast is the best time to apply phosphorous and potash to hay or pasture land. Nitrogen should be split applied for use when the crop needs it. for high production hay I recommend a spring broadcast and a cutting topdress of nitrogen after each cutting. Nitrogen placed too close to tender roots will actually burn them. the rule in corn sidedress is normally 2X2 nitrogen two inches from the row and two inches deep and applied when the plant is 12 to 18 inches tall. Preplanting fertilizer for corn is either braodcast dry or banded liquid in our country but for corn you sure don't want to put down too much early. A drill that is not set up with seperate openers for the fertilizer may actually put the fertilizer too close to the seed and damage the seedlings. Fuel and fertilizer prices in our country have many folks taking a second look at biosolids. [/QUOTE]
