| Very interesting thread. Last winter we set up a JD 1560 notil drill and a JD7200 corn planter(notil) to apply liquid starter. After getting good advice from Bill and a few others we went with Blumharts out of Ashley NoDak to use their manafold system etc. Applying 4-5 gal. of 10-34 as a starter (in row) on wht and corn really showed impressive results in our unscientific trials. We applied 28-0-0 on the wht preplant to meet N needs and banded 2x2 & 2x3 (depending on lbs needed) dry fert on the corn. Even though we had an extremly dry and hot summer, the advantages of no-til and proper fert. levels and placement far surpassed the yields we had using some conventional farming methods. I even sold Dad and brother on doing more notil and believe me that's not an easy thing to do. | |
