Best fertilizer use depends on soil tests and banded applications
The article urges soil testing to determine exact needs and optimal type and placement of fertilizer. It promotes banding close to seed or deep-banding ahead of spring seeding, notes fall application can help avoid price rises but warns phosphorus can bind in winter while nitrogen leaches, and recommends adding about seven kilograms of phosphorus with the seed for root growth.
