Application Technique

Apply fertilizer evenly across the field

Use appropriate techniques for different types (e.g., broadcasting, banding)

Maintain proper distance from crop rows to avoid burn

Follow safety guidelines for handling and applying fertilizers

Post-Application Monitoring

Observe crop response to fertilizer application

Conduct follow-up soil tests if necessary

Adjust future applications based on observed crop performance

Document application rates and timings for future reference
