Objectives
- Determine the significance of precise placement, deep-banded fertilizer for maximizing dryland cereal grain yields in conservation tillage systems in Montana.
- Compare conventional, surface-applied fertilization practices with concentrated, deep banding fertilization for dryland cereal grain production.
- Demonstrate the most effective use of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in dryland conservation tillage systems for cereal grains in Montana.
- Determine realistic maximum yield goals for dryland cereal grains in conservation tillage systems.
- Demonstrate the economic significance of well-defined fertilizer management for dryland conservation tillage systems.
