Another question you asked is why someone would want to "mohawk" the corn's roots by band applying fertilizer. The short answer to that question is that the roots do not coalesce around the banded fertilizer. There's really only two factors that determine where a root grows. This is 1) the path of least resistance and 2) where the moisture is located. Fertilizer placement has no bearing on this whatsoever.
Sorry, your aren't right here, or at least you missed one big point. The main point is the attraction of what ever. Now you can manipulate it and even have roots growing oposit to gravity, which is said to be not possible. Can send oyu pictures where roots are growng upwards and not only downwars. But there is so much attraction that they do things which they shouldn't be doing.
The trik in keeping the roots in or around, and around as I said up there, a fertiliser band to have some sort of attraction which keeps the roots in that area. This doesn't mean that the roots won't go deeper at all. They will.
