Why single band placement of fertilizer is better than their split application?
Routinely, nitrogenous fertilizers are applied in splits to match crop nutrient requirements at different plant growth stages. However, for optimum plant growth, nutrient- water interactions play a pivotal role. In irrigation systems that are more supply driven, our experiences of working in the region suggest that farmers most often are not able to timely supply nutrients and water. For the antecedent and prevailing soil moisture regimes it is therefore a better strategy to apply the total N just at the planting time for optimum nutrient-water interactions.
