RABI CROPS
Maize
Maize is India’s third most important cereal crop after paddy and wheat.
It is used for food, poultry feed, and many industrial products.
Maize is also important for crop diversification because it fits well across varied climates and helps reduce pressure on water resources
Why Your Maize Needs Phosphorus?
Root establishment
& early growth
Phosphorus supports rapid root development, which is critical for early crop establishment.
Energy transfer
& plant growth
It plays a key role in ATP formation, enhancing photosynthesis and overall plant vigor.
Cob formation
& grain filling
Adequate Phosphorus improves cob size, kernel development, and final yield.
