Pay more attention to maize foliar nutrition
Paying more attention to forage maize foliar nutrition, particularly phosphate and zinc will improve crop establishment and early growth resulting in higher yield and better quality forage.
How to increase the yield of forage maize
Forage maize yield is increased by establishing the correct number of plants to create an efficient green leaf canopy and then maintaining that canopy through to harvest. This requires a balanced crop nutrition programme including all macro and micronutrients.
How correct nutrient management can affect your maize
Listen to our maize podcast
Check out our maize podcast where Philip Cosgrave discusses how farmers should be managing nutrition to get the crop off to a good start and maximise yield potential.
Does your maize have a nutrient deficiency?
Identify and diagnose if your maize is suffering from nutrient deficiencies and learn how to control or correct the deficiency. Choose a nutrient below to learn more about the symptoms of its deficiency in maize and its effect on crop growth and development.
