FurrowJet
Getting the right nutrients to seedlings early in the season is a challenge because fall-applied fertilizers limit the plant’s uptake in the spring. FurrowJet firms the seed in the trench while placing bands of fertilizer on and near the seed, so early roots can access essential nutrients at the perfect time, ensuring that plants are never hungry.
FurrowJet offers a lot of flexibility since your nutrient management plan is as unique as your fields are. FurrowJet starts by firming the seed in the trench and then placing the bands of fertilizer on and near the seed. Some growers have elected to run a different product in the furrow and in the wings, and others have added micronutrients and only placed the fertilizer with the wings. The choice is yours, but the answer to each of these questions is FurrowJet.

Phosphorus Doesn't Move
Phosphorus fertilizer does not move in the soil, which means that it needs to be placed
where a plant will be able to access it. Broadcasting the immobile nutrient across the
entire field doesn't make sense, because it won't move to the rows where the plants are.
Phosphorus is Needed Early
Phosphorus is responsible for cell division and elongation and is needed early in a plant's
life in the highest quantity. Considering the lack of movement of the fertilizer and the
plant's need for P early in its life, it makes sense to apply a phosphorus starter with the
planter. Seedling roots and early crown roots of some crops will take up phosphorus; thus
determining the ideal placement of the fertilizer. Feeding the soil in the fall and hoping
to get some of the nutrients back for the plants in the spring can be improved upon by
moving some of the fall application to a planter applied band.
