| Cutting fertility rates is not a good idea no matter how you apply. I have had great experience with root zone banding in the fall and think its a great concept with P & K but would NEVER cut the rates. With the need to produce maximum yields especially in todays economic environment cutting fertility is not a place to save money. Strip till is a good method of farming as well but doing it while cutting fertility rates is not a a good practice. A crop needs fertility to produce to its potential. When you have times of stress ie drought, heat, cold etc you need your fertility to be well balanced to get you thru it not short because you decided it cost too much. How much fertilizer can you buy for 25 bushel x $6/bushel ? In most cases you don't need that much so don't short cut it. If you do it will be money well spent. | |
