Precision Starter Fertilizer Placement does not cost...it
pays. Validated by years of test plots and on-the-farm yield
data has proven starter will pay for itself. The MOST CRITICAL
aspect is where and how to place starter so it is in the
right place at the right time. In most crops, the best response
from starter fertilizer is when application is made close
to the seed, beside and below it.
STARTER
precisely placed where the root system can reach it fast
after germination sets the stage, for what in the end provides
the best opportunity for maximizing return on investment
from higher plant stand counts, less chance of seedling
blight and the all important better plant health in the
critical yield setting phase. Further, some agronomists
feel starter rates can be reduced when applied in the ideal
location. From these results a question is often raised,
if closer to the seed is better then why not dribble starter
in the furrow with the seed? The answer is RISK management-salt
content in the starter is known to "burn" seed which can
result in a significant reduction in plant stand counts
in turn reducing yield potential. It is simply too risky
to mix the two together.

Precision
fertilizer placement is better for the environment, fertilizer
stays in the soil. Growing crops cannot utilize nutrients
that have been washed away as frequently happens with
broadcast surface applied fertilizer. This can result
in a double loss, first the input costs associated with
fertilizer runoff, secondly nutrient starved crops will
never regain their ultimate yield potential. |

How
do you know if starter fertilizer is doing its job?
Unmistakable visual response indicators will be present.
Bigger healthy plants,deeper colors and fast growth
all confirm starter placement is on target.
With
close to the seed application, EXTREME ATTENTION
should be given not to disturb the seed. No amount of
starter can be applied to correct for seed disturbance.
That's why it is strongly advised to frequently dig
behind the planter and take a careful look at seed spacing
and placement throughout the planting season. It is
best to consult the fertilizer manufacturer for spacing
requirements when placing starter fertilizer close to
the seed.

PLACEMENT AND PARALLEL LINKAGE |
The
exclusive Yetter parallel linkage system on the 2995 and 2996
Series provides the greatest stability of any coulter in the
industry...that’s True Placement™. It holds the knife in a fixed
position relative to the field surface, keeping the coulter
and the knife in the soil as the contour changes. YOU
GET PRECISION WITH NO WASTE OR WORRY.
Spring deflection is built into every Yetter Fertilizer Coulter
to protect the coulter and knife assembly. In operation, the
spring cushions the assembly to prevent damage from rocks and
other unforeseen obstructions in the field while the knife follows
the path cut by the coulter blade. Each model is built to maximize
this spring deflection.
