Starter fertilizer — yes or no?

Starter fertilizer in-furrow One concern with placing starter fertilizer in-furrow with the seed is the potential for ammonia or salt damage to seedlings. The use of starter fertilizer often depends on whether you have a planter capable of placing these nutrients, and the benefits of starter fertilizer use depend on soil conditions. Starter fertilizer is defined as small amounts of nutrients banded to the side or below the seed, or in-furrow with the seed and is considered complementary to your primary source of preplant nutrients.
