Granular Fertilizer Knives for Minimum Sod Disturbance in Strip-Till PlantingPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Applied Engineering in Agriculture. 2(1): 18-20. (doi: 10.13031/2013.26700) @1986Authors: Richard L. Parish, Patrick P. Chaney, Richard Joost Keywords: Cropping system, Fertilizer application, Soil disturbance, Strip tillage SEVEN applicator knives for placement of high rates of granular fertilizer to the sides of the drill were evaluated for use in a strip-till, multiple cropping cultural system. Soil disturbance and both horizontal and vertical forces required were measured in a replicated field test. Backward-swept knives required more force, both vertical and horizontal, but caused significantly less soil disturbance than did forward-curved knives. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
