THE correct placement of fertilizers in relation to the seed and plant is recognized as an important factor in obtaining maximum fertilizer responses. Although there are various types of machines that do a good job of applying fertilizers several inches from the seed at planting, data which show the effects of improper placement remain important and have definite value. The factorial design of these experiments allows evaluations of main effects and interactions which are not ordinarily possible. The data are of greatest practical value to agricultural workers of the area, but they also add needed quantitative evidence to the general literature on the subject of fertilizer placement influences.
