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.

It won't yield. It's already stuntet. That land is extremely low on nutrients. And you need heavy dose of soil nutrients

Maize responds very well to fertiliser and irrigation. It will take off as soon as you provide the two. Want to open your own thread?

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.

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?
