Guaranteed analysis
5-20-5 liquid placed P and K starter.
What it does
A higher-phosphorus placed starter that fits when the grower bands potassium separately or soil potassium is already adequate, so the placed dollars go to phosphorus and early vigor instead of duplicating K.
What it will not do
Only when K is already covered
We reach for 5-20-5 over 3-18-18+ when your potassium is banded elsewhere or already tests adequate. If potassium is short, the 3-18-18+ ratio is the better buy.
Trial data and expected range
The placed-liquid starter thesis is the same as 3-18-18+: ortho P at the seed on day one beats stratified dry phosphate.

- Strip-trial against your dry starter.
Tank-mix and handling
RED: keep it off the calcium pass, same as 3-18-18+. Calcium plus high-salt phosphate forms a jelly. In-furrow carrier 4 to 6 GPA, clean screens, strong agitation.
5-20-5 Plus usually ships inside the corn starter, K-banded variant. Build the whole program off your soil test and see it in context.
