Fertilizing Corn

Categories: Soils, Fertilizers and Irrigation

We are going to plant about 20 acres to corn on a sidehill and intend to

put some fertilizer on, but want to give it to the corn only. Would it

be a good plan, after we have marked out our rows, to scatter some

fertilizer in these marks and put the corn right on top of it?



We take it you ask about the use of a readily soluble commercial

fertilizer. If so, you can do as you propose, being careful not to use

too much. The operation of planting will distribute the fertilizer

through enough soil if the application is not too heavy. The effect will

depend something upon what showers you get after planting.
