Fertilizer placed in contact with the seed damaged the germination of sugar beet, mangolds, swedes and peas in 1947; damage was also caused by fertilizer placed directly below the seed. In 1947 and 1948 some damage to the germination of sugar beet was caused by fertilizer in bands 3 in. below the soil surface and 1 in. to the side of the seed; in both years bands of fertilizer 3 in. to the side of the seed were safe. Where placement of medium or full fertilizer dressings is adopted for row crops, the bands should be placed not less than 2 in. from the seed to avoid the risk of injury to germination.All methods of placing gave consistently higher yields of peas than broadcasting fertilizer, the average advantage of placing being over 2 cwt. of peas per acre. In all the experiments on peas in 1948 early applications broadcast and worked deeply into the seed-bed were somewhat superior to late applications made at sowing time.
