Re: Planter fertilizer opinions poll
I'd say don't waste the space on fertilizer when it could be used for extra seed. But if you have to put a fertilizer tank on it, I'd go with dry fertilizer.

Re: Planter fertilizer opinions poll
I voted for none since we do not use any with the planter, and the only thing that we have run through a planter was insecticide which we stopped many years ago. Our bean stubble gets fertilized twice before planting and the corn gets side dressed once it gets some decent height.
Re: Planter fertilizer opinions poll
Well we used dry fertilizer on our planter on the farm but i like seeing others opinions
Re: Planter fertilizer opinions poll
In game I go for none. The planter I’ve been using has a liquid fertilizer tank, but it is to small and empties well before half the seed is gone. I find it easier to fertilize with a dry spreader, or slurry/digestate then to constantly refill the planter with liquid fertilizer.

My wheat/oat/barley after fall harvest gets dry fertilizer, planted to canola no till and immediately fertilized. In early spring I dry fertilize again.
Canola after fall harvest gets digestate, then plant oilseed radish, early spring gets cultivated followed by another application of digestate, corn is planted late spring/early summer.
Corn silage ground get same treatment as Canola, but subsoiled and planted to soybeans
Grain corn gets dry fertilizer, subsoiled, digestate in the spring, planted to soybeans followed immediately by dry fertilizer.
Grass gets, digestate after harvest, dry fertilizer after growth.

Re: Planter fertilizer opinions poll
I never run any fertilizer in planters or seeders for the sole reason that if you put down fert with the seed you cannot preemptive spray effectively on the down field. I try to get my fields 100% fertilized before sowing

Make sense
Re: Planter fertilizer opinions poll
On a planter w/fertilizer I use I have to fertilize before plowing/cultivating for it to count as the second application. If I fertilize after plowing/cultivating then it will still put down fertilizer but not increase the fertilizer count thus wasting it.
