Here in Virginia coast most of the farmers plant with no starter fertilizer and the yields are down to match. Personally I use 200 lb of dry 17-17-17 as a starter. My theory is that the dry fertilizer releases it N over a longer period of time and thus is more available when the plant needs it--don't know it I right but the last 3 years I've been getting 160bu/ac to others 120-130. Then have the field sprayed with some N and burn-down before emergence. Then one more time with drop tubes when the corn is foot tall.
