Why is a one-time fertilizer application recommended for corn growing? Is it different from traditional fertilization?

In the process of corn growth, fertilizer is more especially important. In our Henan home, corn is to take the base fertilizer + fertilizer way to planting, so that can fully guarantee the nutritional needs of corn at different stages of growth. At present, there are some lazy growers, they purchase a one-time fertilizer without fertilizer way, that the corn harvest has an impact? Whether it can really increase production? As a corn grower, I'll share my insights with you.

Reasons for the rise of disposable fertilizer

Since ancient times, it is thought that the growth stage of corn are inseparable from the support of fertilizer. The growth cycle of corn is not more than 4 months can have a harvest, during the care of the energy than other crops will be easier, plus some farmers are lazy to take care of corn, want to covet the convenience and want to get a high yield. So some agricultural technicians began to study the fertilizer and soil improvement, corn growth of fertilizer formulations for repeated trials, finally appeared in recent years by the corn growers like fertilizer ---- a slow-release special compound fertilizer. This slow-release special fertilizer to a certain extent to simplify the number of times to chase fertilizer, coupled with manufacturers frequent publicity gimmicks, favored by some growers, and thus the rise.

Does one-time fertilization increase yields?

As a corn grower for 20 years, I'll start with my neighbor Lao Zhang's experience with corn. The old Zhang family business is more, the main business is to raise cattle and chickens and ducks, but also in the town has a vegetable wholesale store, a day is busy as a gyroscope. Old Zhang's family planted corn is not much, only 2 acres or so, mainly for their own use and breeding plant livestock to eat. And a shot of slow-release special compound fertilizer by the old Zhang's favorite, because this kind of fertilizer is a one-time application of fertilizer, reducing the manpower, but also to reduce the amount of fertilizer applied, and do not have to consider the frequency of fertilizer, so that there is more time to be busy with other things. But from the old Zhang's corn harvest in the past few years, than we use the conventional base fertilizer and fertilizer fertilizer in batches to yield less, the corn harvest will not increase production.

One shot slow-release special compound fertilizer. It will release different fertilizer effects according to the different stages of corn growth, but the growth of corn is not just fertilizer effects, but also with corn varieties, climate, plowing and weeding, males, pollination, pest control, etc., these are interlinked, so this fertilizer to replace the traditional way of basic fertilizer + fertilizer, I think it is very difficult. The key period of yield increase, one is in the application of base fertilizer, the other is in the corn trumpet period, these periods we are using compound fertilizer to apply, not just rely on ordinary three yuan compound fertilizer.

To get a high-yield corn harvest, it must not be a one-time fertilization can be a matter of fact, it needs to be the various stages of the application of different amounts of fertilizer and the corresponding fertilizer type, coupled with the timing and geographical conditions to get a high yield . In the growth process of corn, experiencing high temperature and drought test, the utility of fertilizer will also change, so we have to pay close attention to the corn growth of various conditions.
