ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the combined planting of seed and application of fertilizer. The apparatus has a soil point for cutting a narrow slot-like furrow in soil. A shovel for opening a second, wider opening in the soil is located above and behind the soil point in alignment therewith. These two furrow cutting devices co-operate to form a single furrow having a narrow bottom part and a wider top part. An upright plate-like shoe member having a width similar to that of the narrow bottom part of the furrow is located immediately behind the soil point and prevents soil from falling into the narrow part of the furrow. A seed delivery tube is located immediately behind the shovel above the shoe member between the forward and rearward ends of the shoe member. A fertilizer delivery tube is located immediately behind the rearward end of the shoe member. The apparatus forms the narrow slot for the fertilizer and the wider slot for the seed before either seed or fertilizer is dropped into the soil, but the fertilizer slot is temporarily covered to prevent seed and soil from falling therein.
