Spring Maize Fertilizer Schedule for Maximum Production || Crop Reformer

In this video, we will discuss a complete fertilizer plan to achieve 125 maunds per acre yield of Spring Maize under Pakistani conditions. Spring maize has very high yield potential, but without proper nutrient management, farmers cannot reach maximum production. I will explain step-by-step fertilizer requirements from land preparation to grain filling stage so you can target high yields with confidence. First, we will talk about basal dose at sowing time. For 125 maunds target yield, maize requires a strong foundation of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potash (K). At sowing, apply 1 bag DAP along with ½ bag potash per acre. If soil is weak or sandy, adding zinc sulphate (1–2 kg per acre) is also beneficial. Proper seedbed preparation and placement of fertilizer 2–3 inches away from seed ensures better germination and root development. Nitrogen management is the most critical factor. For high yield targets, total nitrogen requirement is around 3 to 3.5 bags of urea per acre (depending on soil fertility). Apply nitrogen in splits: first dose at 3–4 leaf stage, second at knee height stage, and third before tasseling. Splitting nitrogen improves uptake efficiency and reduces losses, especially in irrigated conditions. At tasseling and grain formation stage, the crop demand increases sharply. Foliar spray of boron and potassium nitrate can help in better pollination, grain setting, and kernel weight. Proper irrigation scheduling during tasseling and silking stage is extremely important because moisture stress at this stage can significantly reduce yield. Finally, remember that fertilizer alone cannot give 125 maunds yield. Hybrid selection, plant population (28–32 thousand plants per acre), timely weed control, and pest management are equally important. If all practices are followed properly, achieving 120–125 maunds per acre in Spring maize is possible. Watch the full video for detailed guidance and practical tips. #maize #fertilizer #cropreformer
