Plowdown fertiliser

Fertiliser applied to the soil surface prior to tillage with a moldboard plow. Broadcast applications of nutrients, particularly phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), are often incorporated into the soil by moldboard ploughing or some other type of deep tillage operation. Nutrient applications prior to ploughing or deep cultivation can be incorporated more deeply into the soil to build soil nutrient availability levels (soil tests) and improve subsoil nutrient availability.
