For maximum grain setting, ensure timely irrigation at critical stages: the knee-high stage, flowering (tasseling), and grain filling. Depending on your soil type and weather conditions, 5 to 8 irrigations are typically required to keep the soil moisture consistent and avoid plant stress during the hot dry spells.
To achieve an optimum plant population and high yields, use a seed rate of 7 to 8 kg per acre. Maintaining a spacing of 60 cm between rows and 20 cm between plants helps each hybrid plant receive adequate sunlight and nutrients for full cob development.
Apply a balanced dose of NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium). Use a basal dose of DAP and Potash during land preparation. Follow up with Urea in two or three split doses: first at the knee-high stage and second just before the flowering stage to ensure vigorous growth and heavy cobs.
