Precision Planting’s Cory Muhlbauer discusses the company’s new FurrowJet fertilizer application attachment for planters. The system quick-attaches to the planter row unit and delivers fertilizer in three zones — on two wings spaced ¾ of an inch apart that slice through the furrow sidewall — and also on the seedling. This application method targets the seed roots and crown roots to increase uptake in early plants and create a safe environment to avoid seed burn.

The new series feature a new seed meter, electronic drive, automated downforce plus monitoring and data management technologies, AGCO says.

Craig Brann no-tills 800 acres of corn, wheat and soybeans near Warsaw, Va., and incorporates cover crops in his rotation. Brann discusses improvements he's made to his John Deere air seeder to improve performance.

FurrowJet fertilizer attachment allows growers to place starter fertilizers near the seed furrow, and the vApply controller systems allow growers to execute their fertility plan across the entire range of application rates for all passes through the field.
