Critical Growth Stages for Maize:
| Stage | Nutrient Need | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Planting | Phosphorus | Strong root development |
| Knee-high (4-5 weeks) | Nitrogen | Rapid vegetative growth |
| Tasseling (7-8 weeks) | Potassium | Cob formation, stress tolerance |
| Grain Filling | Balanced NPK | Plump, well-filled kernels |
Your Maize Formula provides:
-
NitrogenΒ β for dark green leaves and vigorous growth
-
PhosphorusΒ β for strong root systems and early establishment
-
PotassiumΒ β for stalk strength, drought tolerance, and grain fill
-
ZincΒ β critical for maize (prevents white bud)
-
MagnesiumΒ β for photosynthesis during grain filling
HOW IT WORKS
| Stage | What It Does | When to Apply |
|---|---|---|
| Planting | Strong root development, healthy start | Day 0 β soil drench in hole |
| Knee-high | Rapid growth, thick stalks | Week 4-5 |
| Tasseling | Cob formation, pollination support | Week 7-8 |
| Grain Filling | Plump kernels, higher yield | Week 9-10 |
HOW TO USE
For 1 Hectare:
-
MixΒ 500mlΒ of Maize Formula withΒ 100 litresΒ of clean water
-
Apply as soil drench along the rows
-
Use at critical growth stages (see schedule below)
For Small Plot (0.5 hectare):
-
MixΒ 250mlΒ withΒ 50 litresΒ of water
-
Apply along rows as soil drench
Critical Timing for Maize:
-
Zinc at plantingΒ β essential for maize, prevents stunted growth
-
Nitrogen at knee-highΒ β fuels rapid vegetative growth
-
Potassium at tasselingΒ β supports cob development and stress tolerance
Pro Tips:
-
Apply to moist soil, never bone-dry ground
-
Water plants before applying soil drench
-
Apply early morning or late afternoon
-
Use non-chlorinated water for best results
-
For foliar spray, add 1 tsp liquid soap per 10L
