A method for seeding and fertilizing comprises: (a) forming in soil a first furrow 19 inclined to the vertical and having an upper and a lower 74 surface by undercutting an area of soil and raising a part of said undercut area to open the furrow 19; (b) inserting fertilizer 78 toward the bottom 80 of the first furrow; (c) forming a second furrow 72 in the lower surface of the first furrow intermediate the top and bottom of that surface; (d) directing soil from the second furrow toward the bottom of the first furrow to thereby cover the fertilizer with soil; (e) inserting seed 84 into said second furrow 72; and (f) closing the first and second furrows. This method avoids hairpinning of stalks and reduces soil disturbance whilst allowing fertilizer to be positioned below and offset from seed. <IMAGE> |
