When and How to Apply Fertilizers
By Dr. A. M. Soule.
The time and manner of applying fertilizers is a pertinent question at
the present time. The answer should, of course, be predicated on the na- i
ture of the soil, the crop to be grown, the availability of the plant food :
contained in a given formula, the method of applying the fertilizer, and
the amount to be used. On thin, sandy lands which leach freely, it is j
probably best to use only a part of the fertilizer under the drill row, and j
especially would this be true when quickly available forms of nitrogen are j
applied. As soils pass from the true truck, or sandy, loamy type, to the j
heavier clays characteristic of the Piedmont area, it will be good practice I
to use more of the fertilizer under the drill row. Clay soils by reason of
their compact nature and general texture are not so leachy as sandy soils; :
hence the plant food will not likely escape from them readily. Of course, i
there is not so much danger of loss of the phosphorus and potash from j
the average soil as of nitrogen. Since nitrogen, however, is the expensive |
and at the same time very essential element in securing an abundant j
crop, it is of the utmost importance that its application be so safeguarded ;
as to insure the plant's obtaining the maximum benefit from its use. As j
a soil is built up in vegetable matter it becomes more and more desirable
to use all the fertilizer at a single application, either under the drill row (
or possibly broadcasting it over the surface of the ground.
Systematic Crop Rotation Pays.
Farmers who practice a systematic rotation and who use considerable
quantities of yard manure or plow under green crops with regularity will
find this method of applying fertilizers entirely satisfactory. Some will
argue that it is good practice to broadcast fertilizers on thin lands,
but the writer does not favor this practice on this type of soil or on one
which is leachy, because the roots of the plants in the early stages of
growth will tend to develop in a rather limited area and the plant food
will be more quickly assimilated if placed under the drill row than if
scattered widely throughout a soil of loose, open texture.
The method of applying fertilizer will also be influenced by the character
of the crop to be grown. For truck crops, quick stimulation and rapid
development is absolutely necessary. With field crops where the period of
growth covers 120 to 180 days, the fertilizer will be absorbed through a
much longer period, and hence need not be placed so close to the roots
which will have abundant time in which to develop and spread through
the soil and assimilate whatever plant food comes within their reach.
The rooting habits of plants should also be considered in determining
upon the best method of applying fertilizer to a given crop. Legumes
which tend to develop tap roots and strike deeply into the soil gather their
food in a rather distinctive manner from cereal crops, such as oats and
wheal, which send out a great cluster of roots and would not be regarded
as deep feeders or a.- vigorous foragers after plant food as the legumes.
Consider Fertilizer Availability.
The availability of the fertilizers applied should also be considered.
For instance, where nitrogen carriers are used in which this element be
comes very quickly available, it is important that it be utilized by the
growing crop as soon as possible. Hence, it would seem good practice to
often use this material as a top dressing to promote growth or to bring it
as quickly as possible within the immediate influence of the absorbing
roots of the young plants. Hence, there is an argument when carriers of
this kind are used in favor of placing the fertilizer under the drill row.
sSlni-e the nitrogen carriers used under most field crops will consist largely
of organic nitrogen, such as cotton seed meal provides, the crop will have
plenty of time in which to assimilate this element, and because of the
form in which it is applied to the soil, it will not become available so
quickly as to escape assimilation by the plant when compared with a
form of nitrogen such as that provided by nitrate of soda
The question of whether a single or double application should be made
depends on the amount of fertilizer to be used, the condition of the land,
and the nature of the crop With long seasoned crops and on soils in
good physical condition, a single application has in our experience given
as good results as two or more applications For truck crops two or more
applications can often be used to advantage. On thin soils the same
argument holds good for field crops In other words, on sandy lands or
those low In vegetable matter where the farmer expects to apply 500
pounds and upwards of a commercial plant food, it will very often he good
practice to put 300 pounds under the drill row and use 200 pounds as a
side application. If additional fertilizers are used, especially with truck
crops the third application should as a rule consist of nitrogen carriers
made up of organic and inorganic, materials in about equal proportions.
When to Make Second Application.
In making second or side applications, there is often a tendency to delay
the work too long, and hence the fertilizer ingredients are not all utilized,
or if absorbed tend to create a development of leaf and stem at the expense
of grain and fruit. When side applications of a complete fertilizer are
made to cotton it will as a rule he good practice to use them soon aP<«-
cotton has been chopped to a stand, and probably with corn.
