Abstract
A method and apparatus for seeding agricultural crops in which seed is placed in residue-free rows that are closely aligned and associated with bands of deeply placed fertilizer whereby the plants from each seed row may access more than one deep band of fertilizer for the purpose of improving the utilization of fertilizer, improving plant growth and plant yield. The method is further enhanced by an apparatus that can seed, fertilize, and move residue by means of large deep-running blades in combination with a residue knife, a seed placement device, and a fertilizer placement device.
