Note: The amount of nitrogen than can be safely applied with the seed depends on soil type, soil moisture and percent of seedbed utilized For example, no more than 6 lb/A of Nitrogen or 18 lb/A of P2O5 can be added with the seed when using a double disk opener with a 7" spacing. For example: maximum 50 pounds of 11-48-0 25 pounds of 23-23-0. Broadcast remainder of fertilizer needs. A soil test should be obtained for a proper assessment of fertilizer nutrients.
