Relative to the zero N rate, barley seedling stand was reduced to 66% and 52%, and wheat to 76% and 49%, for the 78 and 117 kg N ha-1 rates with the knife opener. Increasing the seed-fertilizer spread from 2 cm to 5 cm with the spoon reduced the seedling stand damage by approximately 20% for both wheat and barley.

En prenant comme rendement économique maximal un rendement de 1,50 $ sur chaque 1 $ investi en engrais, l'utilisation du coutre à couteau serait limitée aux parcelles traitées à la dose de 39 kg de N/ha tandis qu'il serait encore avantageux d'utiliser tous les autres appareils sur des parcelles traitées jusqu'à raison de 78 kg de N/ha (N au coût de 0,35 $/kg, blé au coût de 183,72 $/tonne). Selon cette logique, un producteur agricole utilisant le coutre à couteau plutôt que le coutre à cuiller, le soc à ailes ouvertes ou le coutre à bande latérale perdrait environ 78 $/ha.

The damage to crop establishment, and suppression of full grain yield potential, limits the knife opener to low rates of seed row N when direct seeding. In contrast to the spoon opener, which also reduced wheat and barley seedling stand establishment at high N rates, placement of seed and urea-N in a narrow(2 cm) band with the knife resulted in damage which carried through to yield formation and grain filling.

Contrairement à la situation observée avec le coutre à cuiller, qui conduisait aussi à une réduction du nombre de plants de blé et d'orge lorsque l'azote était appliqué en doses élevées, l'emploi du coutre à couteau pour déposer les semences et le N-urée en une bande étroite (2 cm) s'est traduit par un endommagement des cultures qui s'est répercuté jusque dans les étapes de la production et du remplissage du grain.
