Fertilization recommendations
Silage maize requires nutrients in concentrated form, especially in the first phase of plant development. Afterwards, most of the nutrients are mainly translocated within the plant or used for water absorption (potassium).
The total amount of nutrients required can be applied prior to cultivation. The largest nutrient requirement is during the first phase of growth, and multiple applications have shown no additional yield. Phosphorus and potash fertilizers are also best applied prior to, or directly at sowing. Farmyard manure is incorporated into the soil before sowing. Too late nitrogen fertilization increases the risk of leaf burning and delayed ripening.
Only with high yield expectations and therefore a high N requirement and on light soils (risk of N-leaching!) are multiple nitrogen applications appropriate. One third of the planned quantity of nitrogen is applied in the two to four leaf stage at the latest. Later applications increase the risk of leaf burn and delays ripening, which results in higher grain moisture contents.
Placed (banded) fertilisation in the form of NP fertilisers brings yield benefits, especially in heavy soils, in cold locations and in soils low in phosphate, since the still short roots can feed directly from the fertiliser belt. Temporary phosphate deficiency in juvenile development can be adressed via P-concentrated liquid fertilizers or water-soluble nutrient salts.
Lining can be done before sowing. The maximum quantity of CaO should be 1500kg/ha– preferably in the form of calcium carbonate.
Yield parameters of silage maize:
The yield formation of maize results from optimal distribution of the approximately 9 – 11 plants per m² and strong plants with stable, long-growing stems. Particularly important for a high energy density of the harvested material is a strong and healthy cob.
