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.
