Application guidance, soil pH and field resources.
Maxyield for Barley
Sow directly. Apply 10 kg/acre (about 25 kg/ha) alongside the seed row at sowing. Blend with basal fertiliser, manure or compost if useful for even distribution. Apply another 10 kg/acre with normal top dressing, preferably before rain or irrigation. Total: 20 kg/acre.
The protocol suggests a 1:5 Maxyield-to-fertiliser blend. Higher rates below pH 5.0 require confirmation.
Soil pH & crop suitability
pH is a guide, not a yield prediction. These ranges need local soil-test interpretation; unlisted values are not automatically safe.
Best pH conditions for this crop; no yield percentage is promised.
Usually a lower pH risk; test nutrients and monitor the crop.
Increasing risk of reduced growth or yield; investigate soil acidity and nutrition.
Higher risk of root or nutrient limitations; seek a soil-test-based correction plan.
Check for nutrient limitations, particularly micronutrients.
Maxyield is a soil conditioner. It does not replace fertiliser or a soil-test-based liming programme. Nursery media rates are separate from field rates.
