Nearly 60% of No-Till Farmer readers will make at-plant applications of fertilizer when planting corn in the spring. Brian Banks, senior agronomist for The Andersons PureGrade, helps you sort through the pluses and minuses of the different types of products and formulations available for at-plant starter applications so that you get the right product for your management system.

In this installment of the No-Till Farmer webinar series sponsored by The Andersons PureGrade Banks shares the following about starter application consideration:

• The differences between conventional and low-salt fertilizers and how their use affects placement and timing of applications
• Both the watch-outs and the benefits of differing N-P-K formulations
• A look at the reasons why and how you might add micronutrients to your starter fertilizer
• A bonus look at the benefits of applying starter fertilizer to soybeans

Banks’ presentation was followed by a Q&A session.
