| Fertilizer too close to seed can do some unpredictable things. We used to spring apply anhydrous. 9 times out of 10 no problems. But you only need it to happen once to change your ways. Maybe your manifold got plugged on some rows, over applying others. Maybe for some reason it got over applied. Maybe none of that happened but the environmental conditions were right/wrong for problems to occur.
NDSU has studied liquid fertilizer in corn in 100s of replicated trials spread across several soil types with every major product and every common way of applying it. The result? No conclusive result that liquid fertilizer with the planter has an ROI advantage. | |
