Scott, the idea of the banded tubes dropping the liquid BEHIND the coulter is that it is NOT mixed in but in one lower corner of the strip.

This is about like putting it on with the planter IF you can stay on the center of the strip with the planter. Staying centered on the strip with the planter is especially important if it the soil and weather are dry and the liquid fertilizer is about the only moisture there.

I have applied about 100 units of N banded this way while strip tilling corn on corn a day ahead of corn planting for several years. With a mounted strip till bar and a mounted planter I have not seen any significant plant burn that I can recall.

The liquid tubes have been improved in the past year. TNFarms we are very open to suggestions for improvements. Please take a look at our current one. Joe pls send Jerry one of your latest tubes.
