To me it looks like you've already decided ahead of time that banding will be the winner. Not saying it doesn't make sense that it should be the winner. It also looks like the soil fertility you are starting with is already pretty good as your yields and k% levels with very low application rates are really good. I don't see the justification of going to banding to gain 5 bushels when you have to invest more time and more equipment vs. no-till. Maybe try this on some depleted soils where that 'nutrient stratification' issue we no-tillers are supposed to be hitting would be present. A good drought year or two of data would also help as you might be able to see if this makes your crop more or less resilient.
