@stephen Kagaba. Thanks for your comment. Maize seed production does not achieve yields like a person doing commercial maize farming. This is because all the rows planted with male varieties are chopped off or removed from the farm after pollination and their yields are not considered. You should however get atleast 80% of yields received by commercial maize farmer. The other reason from my observation is that farmers doing maize seed farming don't observe proper cropping husbandry for maize i.e nutrition, spacing
I want to try your knowledge as per your advice regarding nutrition, it's true that sometimes we don't give the appropriate grams required per plant @@MoneyAgritech
@247BRIDGE Source of the seed is Agro input shops. Since it is used for local consumption, as flour or cooked that way or roasted, consumers prefer white. So we do only white
Hello Nelson Kamanga, Application is based on amount of fertilizer or N, P and K required by each plant from germination to maturity. Purpose of 2 Nitrogen based fertilizer is necessary to prevent leaching & disappearing to the environment. This ensures the elements are available to the plant throughout the growing period. In some cases we also do Foliar fertilizers
Hello Machaka Nelson, If U have issues with termites in the farm U may need to do soil borne insecticides with fumigant activities shortly before or after sowing.

What if drought steps in
What is the source of your seeds? And do you plant yellow maize too?
@247BRIDGE
Source of the seed is Agro input shops.
Since it is used for local consumption, as flour or cooked that way or roasted, consumers prefer white.
So we do only white
How do I do this on Organic farm.

No mention of pest control, why?
Great job... Which country are you pls I need your contacts

Is the application of fertilizer three times limited to late-maturing varieties, or does it apply to all types?

Hello Akurut Ann.
There are several spacing recommendations. Best is 75cm from row to row & 25cm from plant to plant within the row.
