Emergence and Yield Comparison
of Mid Row and Side Banding
Seeding/Fertilizer Systems
Date: July, 2007 -
PAMI Report #768 -
The PRAIRIE AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY INSTITUTE based in Humboldt,
Saskatchewan has just released Report #768, "Emergence and Yield
Comparison of Mid Row and Side Banding Seeding/Fertilizer Systems". This research update is based on
a major report titled "The Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer Placement,
Formulation, Timing, and Rate on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Agronomic Performance", documenting the results
of a major seeding research project conducted during the growing years of 2000, 2001, & 2002
in Saskatchewan.
A brief summary of the project was written in a PAMI
Research Update and released in April of 2003 as Report #761. Report #761 contained little
data so PAMI prepared this more detailed Research Update using more project data with a
special focus on an agronomic comparison of mid row banding and side banding systems. More |

Mid Row Nitrogen Banding: Feeding Weeds or Seeds?
by Garry Meier, P.Ag.
Date: April 18th, 2007 - "In actuality, the weedy space between the seed rows is typically the non-fertilized inter-row, and
the inter-row space with little to no weeds is the location of the banded nitrogen. I have seen
many fields over the years, where the weeds in the non-banded inter-row are growing at a faster
rate and greater density than the weeds in the nitrogen-banded inter-row."
Read why the evidence shows that MRBs do not promote weed growth, and
highlights the dangers of nitrogen fertilizer placed too close to germinating plants. More |
