Ground going to corn, spring(but before the frost comes out). Ground going to beans, fall, beans don't like chloride. To throw more confusion into it....Light sandy ground, topdress it all as soon as you can row the crop, maximizes the available P in the dry, minimizes leaching of the K.
Best practice IMO though, buy a strip till bar and band every bit of fertility you can.
Is it better to apply dry fertilizer broadcast in the fall or in the spring?
