Best Fertilizer Plan for Record Spring Maize Yield | How to use Urea & DAP |Cyber Agri Extension|

Fertilizer Program for Record Maize Yield Here is a detailed nutrient application schedule to achieve record yields in maize: At Sowing: Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP): 2 bags (~100 kg) Supplies nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), promoting early root and shoot development. Sulfate of Potash (SOP): 1 bag (~50 kg) Provides potassium (K), enhancing nutrient uptake and stress resistance. Sulfur: 5 kg Critical for protein synthesis and enzyme activity. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO₄): 10 kg Supplies magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S), essential for chlorophyll production and nutrient metabolism. At 3-Leaf Stage: Urea: 10 kg Supplies nitrogen for early vegetative growth. Manganese Sulfate (MnSO₄): 1 kg Supports photosynthesis and enzyme activation. At 5–6 Leaf Stage: Urea: 15 kg Boosts nitrogen levels to support rapid vegetative growth. Boron: 3 kg Enhances reproductive development and reduces risk of kernel abortion. At 8–10 Leaf Stage: Urea: 1.5 bags (~75 kg) Ensures continued nitrogen supply for leaf and stem growth. Sulfur: 5 kg Supports protein synthesis and stress tolerance. At 12 Leaf Stage: Urea: 1.75 bags (~87.5 kg) Provides nitrogen to sustain vigorous growth and prepare for reproductive stages. At R1 Stage (Silking): Urea: 1 bag (~50 kg) Maintains nitrogen levels for grain filling. Nitrophos (NP): 1 bag (~50 kg) Supplies phosphorus and nitrogen to support grain development. Potassium Nitrate (KNO₃): 12.5 kg Supplies potassium and nitrogen to enhance grain weight and quality. Boron: 1 kg Supports kernel formation and prevents empty kernels. Key Benefits: Enhanced Growth: Optimal nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels at critical stages. Improved Grain Filling: Balanced nutrients during reproductive stages to maximize grain size and weight. Stress Tolerance: Sulfur, magnesium, and micronutrients (boron, manganese) reduce environmental stress impact. Application Notes: Apply fertilizers evenly and incorporate them into the soil for better root uptake. Irrigate as needed to ensure nutrients dissolve and reach the roots effectively. Monitor crop health regularly to make additional adjustments if required. This comprehensive nutrient plan ensures the maize crop has all essential nutrients at the right growth stages, maximizing potential yield. #cyberagriextension #corn #makae #maize #maizeyield #recordyield #fertilizerprogram #maizefarming #dap #sop #urea #sulfur #magnesiumsulfate #boron #manganesesulfate #potassiumnitrate #nitrophos #cropmanagement #sustainablefarming #highyield
