Maxyield for Broccoli
Raise healthy seedlings in a nursery and transplant into moist, well-prepared soil. Incorporate Maxyield evenly into the planting bed before transplanting, then apply in the root zone during early establishment if the farm programme calls for a second application. Keep granules away from direct contact with the seedling stem and irrigate after planting.
The calculator follows the updated broccoli protocol supplied by Jens: 20 kg/acre at transplanting and 20 kg/acre at top dressing approximately 6–8 weeks later, totalling 40 kg/acre (100 kg/ha). Nursery preparation uses 10 kg per 400 kg of nursery soil or potting media and is excluded from field-area estimates. Soil pH concerns require soil testing and appropriate correction, not automatic dose increases.
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.
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.
