Application guidance, soil pH and field resources.
Maxyield for Potatoes
Potatoes are planted from seed tubers, not nursery transplants. Apply 10 kg/acre (about 25 kg/ha) in the planting furrow with the standard basal programme, then 10 kg/acre at the first top dressing, normally 4–6 weeks after emergence and around earthing up. Total: 20 kg/acre.
The proposed HRI/KALRO trial uses this two-application programme. Potato scab risk and soil type should be considered before raising pH.
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.
