MAIZE
Maize is a fast-growing crop with high nutrient needs. Precise & efficient nutrition is key to strong growth, high yields & good quality silage.
At Agro-Vital, we take a science-led approach to crop nutrition, with products designed to meet the specific needs of maize. Our tailored solutions support strong establishment, rapid growth & high-yield potential throughout the growing season..
Tailored Nutrition: We provide crop nutrition strategies customised for maize, delivering the right nutrients at every growth stage—from emergence to harvest.
Enhanced Efficiency: Our fertilisers maximise nutrient uptake with minimal waste, boosting performance while lowering environmental impact.
Sustainable Practices: Agro-Vital supports sustainable maize farming with solutions that build soil health, cut input costs, and protect the environment.
KEY GROWTH STAGE FROM LEAF 8 TO TASSELLING
NITROGEN is essential for maize’s later vegetative growth and cob fill, supporting strong leaf development and driving photosynthesis. Agro-Vital’s foliar nitrogen solutions, such as Efficient 28, boost nitrogen uptake, strengthen crop resilience, and support steady, healthy growth—even in tough conditions.
KEY GROWTH STAGE LEAF 3-6
Phosphate plays a significant role in crop development by mediating energy transfer in plants. Foliar phosphate powers maize crops through the early days of establishment. Agro-Vital’s liquid foliar fertiliser Splendour-K, with its highly available phosphate, as well as nitrogen, potash, sulphur, manganese & zinc, provides crops with essential nutrients for early canopy development, promoting healthy growth and maximising yield potential.
DRILLING
Phosphorous is essential for maize, supporting early root development, energy transfer, and strong plant establishment. P-Focus delivers highly available phosphate directly at drilling, giving maize fast access to nutrients. This targeted start helps maximise growth, improve uniformity, and boost yield potential.
STEM EXTENSION
POTASSIUM & SULPHUR are key to supporting maize during rapid growth stages. BladKali supplies both nutrients at the crucial stem extension phase—potassium boosts water regulation and nutrient uptake, while sulphur supports protein formation and plant metabolism. BladKali promotes strong, healthy crops and maximises yield quality with no leaching or volatilisation.
BEFORE DRILLING
SULPHUR (Long-term support) is vital for protein formation and overall wheat quality, playing a key role in plant metabolism and yield. Persist Pro meets these needs by delivering both short and long-term sulphur supply through a unique blend of elemental sulphur microparticles. This formulation ensures both early-season availability and sustained release, supporting healthy wheat development while improving soil health with minimal leaching.
