FAKSIFFANY, N.J. - A new
sy stern that bands liquid fertilizer
beneath the soil surface without
using knives or tillage tools has
been developed by Arcadian
Corporation (formerly the
agricultural products group of
Allied Chemical).
Known as Nutn-Blast 2000, the
unique system uses 2,000 pounds of
pressure to “blast” liquid fertilizer
through crop stubble and into soil.
“With Nutn-Blast 2000, farmers
can take advantage of subsurface
banding a proven method of
increasing fertilizer efficiency
without compromising on the
principles of no-till farming,” says
John Clapp, manager of product
development of Arcadian.
Nutn-Blast 2000 enhances fer
tilizer efficiency by minimizing
fertilizer contact with crop
residues and large volumes of soil,
explains Clapp And because
fertilizer is placed beneath the soil
surface, no urea is lost to ammonia
volatilization, a common problem

New system '’blasts’ fertilizer
when urea-containing fertilizers
are left on the soil surface or
topdressed on small grains or
grasses
At the same time, Nutri-Blast
2000 eliminates the need for tillage
during fertilizer application,
continues Clapp This makes the
Nutn-Blast system more energy
efficient than systems emnloymg
undercutter blades, knives, disk
openers and similar equipment
What’s more, with Nutn-Blast 2000
there is little or no risk of
damaging the crop’s root system, a
common occurence when fertilizer
is knifed between rows
Already no-till test plots com
paring Nutn-Blast 2000 with
conventional surface-band ap
plications have shown that Nutn-
Blast produced nearly 20 bushels
more corn per acre 17 percent
increase Currently, a half dozen

country are using Nutn-Blast 2000

ol Nutn-Blast 2000, Arcadian has
recently reached an agreement
with John Blue Company to
produce ami market the new
svstem.
John Blue will make Nutn-Blast
2000 available in three models. One
ian be directly attached to a
tractoi using a three-point hitch,
while a second has been designed
tor use with no-till planters and
grain drills The third model is a
caddy unit capable ot pulling
implements
The three models will be
equipped with a variable
displacement pump and a rotary
valve that injects liquid fertilizer
into the soil for more efficient use
ot plant food. John Blue has ap
plied for patents on the pump and
valve, and expects to have the
entire Nutn-Blast system com
mercially available by February
1985
In addition to injecting liquid
fertilizer, the Nutn-Blasl system
also can be used for application of
insecticides and fungicides, either
separately or in combination with
fertilizer
Because the Nutri-Blast system
requires very small orifices to
create enough pressure to blast
fertilizer through stubble and
beneath the soil surface, it is
