SE Nebraska | I have worked with many that are dribbling starter on with the planter, ussually a blend of 28%, 10-34-0, thisul, and any thing else required for the situation. I really like about a 30-30-0-6 blend in this area, but every situation is different.
Barney Gordon at KSU has done a lot of work with the dribble application over the last few years. he was the one that opened up my eyes to it. Below is a link for the 2002 KSU Fertility Research Summary. Check out pages 30-33, they discuss blends and drip application.

Simple to set up, just a tube ussually attached to the closing wheel arm on Kinze and Deere. I've seen similar setups on Case, but it takes a little more work to set up. I like to see it 1"-2" off to side of seed.
I've seen about the best results from those that run both a dribble application and in-furrow application. Some just have some of the product running in furrow and some out the back (can't put thio-sul in that blend though). Best seems to be to run a non-corrosive like 9-18-9 or 6-24-6 in furrow at about 2 GPA, then a blend like mentioned above in a dribble applicaiton.
