Which fertilizer application method involves placing fertilizer in concentrated bands near the seed or root zone at sowing, thereby improving nutrient use efficiency?
Band Placement
Band placement is a fertilizer application method in which fertilizer is placed in a concentrated band near the seed or root zone at the time of sowing.
This targeted placement makes nutrients readily available to developing roots while minimising nutrient loss, improving overall nutrient use efficiency compared to methods that spread fertilizer more broadly.
Foliar feeding applies nutrients directly to leaves, drip fertigation delivers nutrients dissolved in irrigation water, and broadcasting scatters fertilizer over the whole field, none of which match this description.
