Dry conditions and lack of soil moisture availability, especially during planting time this spring, can create water stress resulting in delayed germination, a reduction in plant stands or may prevent seed germination.
Many strip-tillers incorporate application of various fertilizers — nitrogen, phosphate and potash — when strips are being made. Anhydrous ammonia, a common source of nitrogen, can be toxic to germinating seeds and root systems when applied too close to the seed.
