Influence of Fertilizer Analysis and Placement on the Emergence, Growth, and Nutrient Absorption by Wheat Seedlings in the Greenhouse1

K. Lawton and J. F. Davis2

Synopsis: Under greenhouse conditions, contact placement of wheat seed with 5-20-20 fertilizer at the rate of 500 pounds per acre seriouly delayed and reduced emergence of seedlings and subsequent growth. Similar placement of seed with 5-20-0 fertilizer was only slightly detrimental. Applying mixed fertilizer in a band below or 11/2 inches to the side and 11/2 inches below the seed was most desirable from standpoint of emergence, growth, and uptake of fertilizer phosphorus.
