[QUOTE="Flatlander, post: 7755296, member: 156006"] Twin row corn/maize is gaining popularity in the US. they would be more in touch with fertilizer demands or grain maize. That being said here in Canada the fertilizer rate your using would not produce that yield unless you soil test shows very high Pand K. maize Is a hungry crop and will respond well to increased fertility The N is getting close to adequate assuming test show at least 100 kg in the soil already. Those weeds need taking out ASAP too. Maize won’t compete while small. Plant population is on the low side too. Ideally you need perfect spacing. No skips or doubles and planted a minimum of an inch and a half for basal roots to anchor. Aim at 75000 seeds a hectare or 30k an acre. Nit sure what you weather conditions are there but this is what would be pretty standard for southern Canada to target maximum yield in our climate. good luck. [/QUOTE]
