Seed Manuring Boosts Growth Over Heavy Fertilizers
A. HW argues seed manuring with economic seed manure yields far greater plant nutrition per acre than 1000 pounds of commercial fertilizer, which provides only 200 pounds of actual plant food. Using four ounces of seed manure per bushel of wheat accelerates germination, wards off weeds, strengthens early root and shoot growth, and reduces later labor, making seed treatment more efficient and cheaper than soil-applied feeds.
