Soil test result is out.... In the result, soil pH is 5.5, meaning no need to lime... pH lower than 5 will lock nutrient from the maize which will result in poor yield.... The Nitrogen level is medium, phosphorus is low, which is expected because kogi state soil is naturally deficient in phosphorus... Potassium level is medium. 3 Likes |

Wodu89:You think so? |
Re: My Maize Farm Journey by Wodu89: 4:46pm On May 12, 2023 |
Holuu: It won't yield. It's already stuntet. That land is extremely low on nutrients. And you need heavy dose of soil nutrients |

Seun: Please when is the right time to apply the fertilizer? Again, what's the best fertilizer for maize? Thanks! |
Re: My Maize Farm Journey by staga: 12:26am On May 24, 2023 |
Hatesin: There is a technique I have been using. I do not use any herbicides. I use a tractor to plough. After ploughing, I plant. Once the maize is 3-weeks post sprouting, I mix urea and mycorrhiza into my seed planter, and roll the planter beside the plants. Mycorrhiza makes the maize develop a much more efficient root system for max utilization. It is a naturally occurring fungus, but is destroyed by herbicides. The difference between my crop and those of other farmers is always amazing. |
Re: My Maize Farm Journey by Wodu89: 7:20am On May 24, 2023 |
staga: How then do you manage weeds without the application of Herbicides? At what stage do you apply herbicides? |
Re: My Maize Farm Journey by Jonnic1(m): 9:45am On May 26, 2023 |
Staga. Thanks for the post. How do we get Mycorrhiza? |
