TOP DRESSING YOUR MAIZE
At knee-high, this is a good time for topdressing to provide essential nutrients for optimal growth and yield. And to avoid leaching of nutrients due to heavy rainfall use foliar fertilizer.
βͺοΈ Here are the key nutrients to consider:
1. NITROGEN (N):
Crucial for leaf development and overall plant growth.
2. PHOSPHORUS (P):
Promotes root development, stalk strength, and grain formation.
3. POTASSIUM (K):
Enhances stress tolerance, disease resistance, and grain quality.
4. CALCIUM (Ca):
Strengthens cell walls, improves stalk integrity, and aids in nutrient uptake.
