Maxyield for Maize
Sow directly. Place 10 kg/acre (about 25 kg/ha) near the seed row at planting without concentrating it against the seed. Blend with basal fertiliser, mature manure or compost for even placement; the maize protocol suggests 1 part Maxyield to 5 parts fertiliser. Apply a further 10 kg/acre during the normal top-dressing operation, preferably before rain or irrigation. Total: 20 kg/acre per crop.
Higher doses at very low pH require technical approval and a soil test; they are not included in this calculator.
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.
