@mvoi.agrimentor.k: Many maize farmers apply fertilizer but still fail to achieve the yields they expect. The difference often lies in using the right fertilizer, at the right growth stage, in the right amount, and with the correct application method. A proper fertilizer program includes: • At planting: Apply a suitable basal fertilizer such as DAP or an appropriate NPK blend to promote strong root development. • Early vegetative stage: Top-dress with Urea or CAN to encourage vigorous growth and healthy leaf development. • Later growth stages: Ensure adequate potassium, zinc, and balanced nutrition to support grain filling, improve crop health, and maximize yield. For the best results, fertilizer recommendations should always be based on soil test results, local soil conditions, and your target yield. Proper fertilizer management improves nutrient use efficiency, increases productivity, and enhances farm profitability.
