Why have researchers found a benefit for applying AGROTAIN to urea-N that is side band applied close to the seedrow at the time of seeding?
Researchers always assumed that leaving a barrier of soil between the seedrow and the fertilizer band provided adequate separation to minimize the risk of ammonia induced germination damage. However, with the trend to evernarrower openers, the effectiveness of the seed and fertilizer separation appears to be compromised in many situations. As a result, researchers have observed benefits from AGROTAIN applications to side banded urea and liquid UAN, particularly at higher N rates and wider spaced seedrows.
