[QUOTE="AG Tim, post: 3725958, member: 49246"] Does the salinity of the fert effect Slugs? We mixed slug pellets with seed, because the Slugs Start up to the crop at the bottom of the seed Band (would think they creep up through worm holes?!), and Show nearly no response to broadcasted pellets than. Worked fine, but its rough mixing it (the dust is pure poison). We also had some elemental sulfur into the seed Band (SUMO DTS type of fertilizer into the loosening strip). I liked that, cause most Other elements would be applied organic with slurry or compost. Only thing i miss would be boron, but i think i will find some Brands of elemental sulfur or DAP with implemented boron. Our experience is that osr wouldnt need that much of loose soil under the seed, but it Shows up differences in soil hardiness or maybe bulk density in the way the roots are growing. Sometimes straight downward with no crowns, sometimes only to the bottom of the loosening strip (nearly 10cm, We wont go deeper with it) and than branching or without a tap root, only growing sidewards (in most cases compacted soil or some kind of structural damage/stones). But placed fert is a important key. [/QUOTE]
