A method for electrostatically adhering an agricultural input powder to an agronomic carrier is described. A dry nutrient powder is electrostatically charged in a charging chamber which has a grounded metal component such that the electrostatically charged powder moves towards the metal component. The agronomic carrier is then passed by the charged powder such that the charged powder adheres to the carrier.
