There is pop up fertilizer, which is often liquid and you only use a very small amount - 5 gallons an acre - so the salt doesn't hurt the corn, it is put in the seed trench with the seed. This helps the plant emerge from the ground and get a start in cold wet rough conditions.if you are planting later when its warmer or don't run into rough weather early on this might not really do much for you.
There is starter fertilizer, which is often a band of rich fert 2 inches beside and 2 inches below the seed, the salt will flush away by the time the root reaches over so you can use a lot more, 100-200# of granular or equivalent liquid. Some use more, but this becomes the main fertilizer, no longer really a starter any more... This helps poor soils as the roots hit this nutrient rich band they can easily feed off the heavier concentration of nutrients while the plant is building a bigger better root to find more feed later. If your soil is in medium high to high range on nutrients you might not see much value to this, if your soil is mined out low values or low ph it might pay off very well.
Common granular starter here is, um, uh, I can't remember the exact number, 9-something-23 maybe? If you didnt with a broadcast, it is common to add a bit of sulfur as well, since we don't have acid rain any more we need to add sulfur. Sometimes boron or other bits are also added if your soil needs it.
19-19-19 would work. That is more often broadcast on small grains here, but it would do for a corn starter. They feel for a starter, the young corn needs more help from P and K which are hard for the plant to take up when it is small and wet and cold out, and will get n from your other sources later in the year when it uses the N to build a tall stalk and then set and fill the cob.
