For example, is 50% of Potassium needed
to be available and stored in the plant
from V6 to tasseling stage. If we expe-
rience a mid-summer drought before
tasseling stage and the roots are forced
to feed in sub soil (although top soil K can
be high in mg/kg), and the sub soil is low
in K(mg/kg) or %K, then the production
potential will lower.
It is also very interesting to note that
the availability of Phosphate in the soil
and the ability of the crop to utilize this
over a much longer period, has a direct
impact on yield results.
potential of the crop because grams/plant,
the ability of the plant to produce, needs
to be taken into consideration as well. As
example, we can look at more than one
cob varieties, at a plant population of 25
000 plants per hectare. Soil fertility, soil
moisture and type of fertilizer will directly
influence the outcome. Calculation can be
made between 250 g/plant – 350 g/plant,
at lower populations such as 15 000 plants
per ha it is 350 g/plant – 420 g/plant.
Example of such calculations:
Soil fertility is not optimal
= 25 000 x 250 g/plant = 6.25 tons/ha
= 15 000 x 350 g/plant = 5.25 tons/ha
Plant population also influenced the
Soil fertility more optimal
= 25 000 x 350 g/plant = 8.75 tons/ha
= 15 000 x 420 g/plant = 6.3 tons/ha
Leaf analyses during the growing sea-
son can point out deficiencies in time
which then can be adhere to by formu-
lating a specific foliar feed, that can be
sprayed. Why, it happens frequently that
the last 5-7 pits on the cob which has
been initiated and pollinated, do draw
back because of nutrient deficiencies.
The loss of yields is then between 0.7 -
1.2 tons/ha.
