In Furrow Starter Fertilizer Corn

[Krogh]

What are your thoughts on in-furrow starter fertilizer for corn? this will be the first time I have used it but I think it should have some advantages.

I've heard of people doing it that way under the theory that it gives new seedlings a dose of nutrition right where they can access it, but I've never taken that route. I've always worried that the fertilizer would burn up the roots. Seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients on their own. It already contains what it needs to sprout and grow in the beginning.
