Some maize planters have fertilizer attachments which apply the fertilizer with the seed.

At the Indiana Station 2 both stable manure and commercial fertilizers used continuously for five years gave the best yields during seasons of high rainfall and the least returns during a season of low rainfall, the commercial fertilizer causing a decrease in yield. Other things equal, the best results from the use of fertilizers may be expected in regions or seasons of high rainfall. 1 Canadian Experimental Farms Rpt. 1902, p. 34. Ind. Bui. 55, p. 29. 292.
