Conceal
The most efficient time to place fertilizer is during the planter pass, but many planter nitrogen attachments are bulky, messy, and high-maintenance. Conceal is a planter fertility attachment that is cleanly tucked into the row unit and places nutrition in the soil 3 inches away from the seed.
Plants Need Fertilizer
Plants don't need fertilizer when the seed is still in the bag, they need the fertilizer while
they are growing. This means it needs to be available for the roots to uptake in the most
important times of the plant's life. In the case of nitrogen and corn, that first important time
is from V4-V8 while the plant is determining the maximum size of the ear that it can produce.
Nitrogen needs to be readily available to the crown roots of the plant during this stage in
order to maximize the yield that can be produced by that plant. A band of nitrogen placed under
the soil surface will move down the soil profile with rains that occur after planting and will
be a few inches deep, right where crown roots can get it when they need it.

Conceal Puts Nitrogen Where it Should Be
Conceal is a simple nutrient placement device that places fertilizer in a band,
incorporated into the soil, where the plant will be able to get those nutrients during
the critical ear set stage. Conceal can be utilized to put either a single or a
dual-band of nutrients down beside the row. Conceal is a combination of a gauge wheel
that has a groove in it, and a knife running in the groove. The knife is guided by the
gauge wheel so that placement is always the same distance from the seed. Since the knife
is mounted to the front of the row unit, it does not interfere with the critical
function that the gauge wheel plays: consistent and proper seeding depth. Conceal almost
can't be seen on the row unit, tucked away inside the gauge wheel, where it does its job
without increased row unit length or bulk that typically comes with nitrogen
attachments.
