Objectives

    Overall objective is to evaluate the feasibility of using a one-pass system (seeding and fertilizing) for winter wheat on different soils in two separate years.
      1. To examine the feasibility of side-banding urea or anhydrous ammonia at seeding time instead of broadcasting ammonium nitrate in the spring.
      2. To evaluate the potential of increasing phosphorus fertilizer at seeding time with urea fertilizer to offset the negative effects that high rates of N-fertilizer can have on winter survival.
