How to make it work
-
Short of sulphur Your soil is likely short of sulphur.
Use single super phosphate instead of DAP, or add about 100 kg of gypsum per acre before sowing.
Few local farmers add it to this crop, so it's an easy place to get ahead.
What local farmers put on it (share of fields):
- Urea Ammonium Phosphate 2%
- Muriate of Potash (MOP) 2%
- Urea 0%
- Zinc Sulphate Heptahydrate / Monohydrate 0%
