In-Furrow Fertilizers For Wheat
Wheat crops have shown a relatively good response to fertilizers applied in-furrow, particularly with phosphorus fertilizer. Research has revealed that wheat may show an increase in fall tillers and better root development with the application of a starter fertilizer blend.
It’s important to take seed safety into account when considering in-furrow applications and selecting fertilizer sources with a low salt index to reduce the risk of seed injury. This recent article from Kansas State University outlines application recommendations and suggested maximum fertilizer rates if you are interested in applying fertilizer in-furrow with wheat seed.
