    Another concern of mine with the Bourgault MRB configuration was the possibility of a nutrient starved crop before it reached the fert band. So far it doesnt "look" to be the case. We use some fert in the seedrow and absolutely no P in the midrow. Still would like to see the effects of a dry season with this rig, better watch what I wish for.

    I've never dribble banded or foliar fed in the growing season, but think I has merit.... if things go south don't apply more. Makes sense.

      Just think what you could do farmaholic if you put the fert in the right place!

        Broadleaf crops and pulses don't like the P with the seed... research is showing much better results with N/P together a couple of inches down/offset to the side... for best utilization and seed bed. I agree with tweety... why feed the weeds!

          Like using subsoiler openers like the old Gens or the old Stealth. lol. In dry years those things were dynamite.

          We used to use some Dutch low draft and paid attention to ground speed and air velocity as to not create too much mixing at the opener. It was too hot for the canola.

          Floaters are re-appearing, but I wouldn't want to do it if I didn't have to.

          As I said the jury is still out, only two years in, just like the open market... time will tell. But I expect to realize extra millions because of both changes...

            The reason why P with seed is becoming such an issue is the trend to these narrow knives...


            If you live in a good moisture area worst thing you can do is put all your seed on 12" spacing and in a 3/4" strip that far apart...


            Look at peas... spread them a tad bit and you get way better pod set... less interplant competition.

              ...10 inch spacing with a Dutch two inch spread(I wouldn't say it spreads it two inches though but better than everything in a concentrated 3/4 inch row...)

                Best fertilizing method advise from me would be doggy style. Grag her pull push and go deep fast. Can extend by slowing.
