PLANT FOOD AVAILABILITY
Case IH in-line rippers with root zone banding place nutrients in the root zone, where those nutrients are available for roots when plants need them most.
  • Create a more ideal balance of soil, air and water
  • Roots grow deeper
  • Roots contact more soil for better nutrient uptake

Reduce Runoff
Nutrient runoff during periods of heavy rain is reduced by Case IH in-line rippers.
  • Roots absorb more nutrients due to proper management of residue and soil tilth
  • Nutrients are banded in the root zone
  • Runoff and water contamination are reduced
  • Efficiency of nutrient placement is improved
Case IH root zone banding provides superior plant food availability.
Root Zone Banding
By placing fertilizer in the root zone, roots are allowed to take up more food for a longer period of time.
  • Nutrient tie-up with surface residue is eliminated
  • Nutrients available for longer period of time, even in dry weather
  • Proven, higher yields than surface broadcasting
  • Return on fertilizer and seed investment is maximized
