A successful crop requires uptake of the required amount of nutrients, most of which are applied as fertilizer. It is common for growers to apply nutrients as a blend of several fertilizers at one time for practicality and time management. Regardless of nutrient requirements and application practices, quick and early crop establishment is contingent on timely access to nutrients by seedlings.
As growers prepare for the planting season, several variables are at the forefront in terms of operating decisions. Considerations such as seed and fertilizer rate are typically decided well before seeding but several are decided upon at the time of seeding and are dependent on the conditions that the implement will be seeding into. One of the most important decisions in terms of plant stand consistency and survivability is seeding depth.
Fertilizer is a crucial and costly input on the farm each year. Achieving crop yield and quality goals requires providing the necessary nutrients. Proper fertilizer placement, adhering to 4R nutrient stewardship principles (right source, right rate, right place, right time), ensures early crop establishment and maximizes nutrient uptake, resulting in consistent crop production.
