Abstract
An applicator for dry and liquid fertilizer includes a knife for forming a slot in the soil, a dry fertilizer-conduit mounted behind the knife and formed into a U-shaped channel with an elongated, upright slot at the rear, and a flexible hose for liquid fertilizer removably wedged in the slot and forming the rear wall of the channel. If the dry fertilizer conduit becomes plugged or restricted, the liquid fertilizer hose is removed, and a tool may be used to clear the conduit.
