Advantages - The method of placing fertilizers within the soil next to the plant roots is called Banding. The Benefits of Banding fertilizers as against Top-Dress (Placement on top of the soi) are: 
  • Less Fertilizer loss to Volatilization and Leaching - Between 60% to 80% of the fertilizer applied top-dressed may be loss to Volatilization (Go up in gas), and Leaching.
  • The plants get in direct contact with the fertilizer for immediate uptake.
  • Guyana’s Coastal Soils are high in Iron and Aluminum. Top-Dressed method of fertilizer application has proven to change Phosphorus as in TSP into Iron and Aluminum Phosphates which are not taken up by plants.
