Maize: products indicated and the dose on each data sheet

Maize is the arable crop with the highest water and nutrient demand per hectare, with a sharply marked critical period around flowering, when the plant sets the number of kernels per cob. Before that, it builds its leaf mass in just a few weeks, which will later fill the grain, and fertilisation accompanies that growth from sowing through to top-dressing; under irrigation, fertigation allows it to be spread across the cycle. What decides the season is reaching flowering with the plant fully formed and with no water stress.

On this page we bring together the products in our catalogue whose data sheet names maize in its list of crops. In the dose line, our data sheets do it in two ways: some write maize by name within the list of arable crops, and most publish a dose for arable crops —alongside vegetable crops, or for fruit trees, vegetable crops and arable crops at once—, almost always with two routes, foliar and fertigation, and often with two regimes, maintenance and severe deficiency. Some data sheets name maize but do not publish a dose for arable crops: in that row we write nothing and refer to the data sheet.

The table has three columns: the product, linked to its data sheet; the family it belongs to; and the doses the data sheet states for arable crops. Each dose line begins with the use as the data sheet writes it —the route, the regime and the crops it refers to— and ends with the quantity. The timing of application is not in this table: each data sheet publishes it in its dose block, together with the precautions and mixing incompatibilities, which are read before applying. We do not order the products by crop stage because our data sheets do not publish the dose by stage, and here we do not write what the data sheet does not say.

If the question on your farm is which of these data sheets fits the soil, the irrigation and the state of the maize, the technical enquiry exists for that: we reply with the data sheet in hand.
