How to make it work
-
Short of nitrogen Your soil is likely short of nitrogen.
Add about a quarter more urea than the usual dose, in two or three splits. A pulse crop in rotation also adds nitrogen.
About 85% of local fields of this crop get it.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- Urea 85%
- Muriate of Potash (MOP) 72%
- Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) 67%
- Single Super Phosphate (SSP) 62%
