Harm due to excessive nitrogen use in maize

  • In maize crops, nitrogen deficiency causes a light green colour of maize plants, growth is less than normal. Firstly the lower leaves of the plant start drying and gradually the upper leaves also dry up, the leaves turn white in colour and sometimes the leaves get burnt.

  • If more nitrogen is used in maize crops, then yellowing is more visible in the leaves and due to its excess, the amount of other nutrients is also affected. Apart from this, in the maize crops, more than one tiller starts growing near the main stem, due to which the main stem becomes very weak.

  • In the maize crop, the yield of maize is also greatly affected due to the growth of such extra buds.

  • If this type of problem is seen by the farmer in his maize field, then, first of all, pluck the extra tillers from the plant and separate them. While doing this action, keep in mind that there is no damage to the main stem, after that, for the growth of the stem, use Vigormaxx gel @ 400 g / acre and do not use more nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
