    Corn Fertiliser Blends

    We can manufacture some blends specifically as a starter option for corn crops.

    Blend ratios can change but they are generally a NKS fertiliser blend of Urea, SOA and MOP. Providing good levels of Nitrogen, Potassium and Sulphur.

    Some of the regular blends supplied:

    28-0-13-06

    21-0-23-04

    7-8-30-1  (when Urea or SOA is applied pre-plant)

    NKS fertiliser blend of Urea, SOA and SOP for added sulphur

    21-0-23-09

    22-0-17-12

    Irrigation experiments in the USA have shown that a well fertilised corn crop was 43 percent more efficient in water usage than a non-fertilised crop.

    During production a corn plant requires ~29kg of N per tonne, ~5kg of phosphorus per tonne, ~22kgs of potassium per
    tonne and ~3.5kg Sulphur per tonne of production.
