We no till all crops and use JD 750/752 single disc opener no till drills with the seperate placement fertilizer option to place all fertilizer and seed in one pass.
In wheat, we place 11-52 with the seed and mid row band urea for nitrogen between the seed rows. For salt sensitive crops like flax, we place no fertilizer with the seed and mid row band a blend of nitrogen and phosphate (11-52 and urea.) For pulse crops like field pea and soybean that fix their own nitrogen, we mid row band 11-52 only. Wheat, flax and peas are planted in 7.5 inch rows, with soybeans in 15 inch rows.
The claim is that your crops get better use of banded fertilizer than broadcast. They say that narrow bands of fertilizer make it less avalible to the weeds and soil bugs between the rows and no loss from laying on the surface.
Have used this setup for 15 years in the central ND clay loam soil.
