Can you use an end-gate broadcast seeder to broadcast fertilizer over corn ground?

If so, should this be done prior to planting the corn and worked into the soil, or can it be done after planting and let rain work it in?

My corn planter does not have fertilizer boxes. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Why don't you just spray liquid N in instead of using dry then just work as usual.

Either way will work. Some formulations of N will 'evaporate' in 24 hours or so if not worked or rained in. Others are not so sensitive. I personally prefer working the fert in lightly be4 planting.

You can use anything that will broadcast in an even pattern that you can control. Broadcasting is probably the method of choice along with fertilizer planted with the corn seed. This combination seems to work well. Around here we are putting around 400 lb broadcast and sowing another 125lb per acre. Since you cant sow fertilizer, broadcast and till in and then sow your corn. When I do my sweet corn I will broadcast, cultivate and sow...Mike in Exeter Ontario
