Now Im ready to give my corn a boost of 12-0-0. Corn Loves Nitrogen so give it some food and sit back and watch it grow.

I planted my garden 10 years ago and I took some classes and all but I mainly experiment now that Im out of school. Anyway we tried corn a few years ago but I planted it around 2015 and it blew over a little and it looked a bit like your first year because I really didnt anything. maybe 2 deformed cobs. However this year dad planted. He didnt use soil conditioner and I wish he had because I always use it. compost or peat moss or even manure but but lately with the shrub border I put miracle gro and some peat in the holes no manure maybe a bit a of compost in some but not needed. Anyway we are going to used that Bone Meal . It seems awesome! The stuff in the soil might not be as good but that fertilizer should definately help . He said he he will by some tomorrow. and a tiny square but we going to try it out. get that deep green color and the stalks not purple. So thanks alot!

It will grow untill it runs out of nitrogen in the soil then it will start turning purple and yellow and stop growing tall.It will still tassel out but your cobs will not have any kernels on them and wont be big at all.Corn loves nitrogen and it usually needs 1 fertilization about 2 ft tall and that will take it own to the end.

Bury alfalfa pellets in a trench about 4 inches deep where to plan to have your corn planted about a month before you plant. Then plant your corn around 2 inches deep and mulch with grass clippings and clover. You wont have to fertilize at all. Maybe add a few pellets halfway through the season if your corn is big.

I've always hit mine with 10-0-0 when they are about 8 inches high. When they get knee high, I put a generous amount of 34-0-0. Make sure you water immediately after applying, or apply before rain. Some people like to go lighter on the nitrogen but I prefer to go heavier. It will sometimes burn the base of the stalk but you will have extremely green corn that will produce full ears.

@crpth1 5 жыл бұрын

danieldefenseM4 - Using such high concentrations of N or any other fertilizer for that matter. I'm sorry to say, it's ridiculous, irresponsible and on top, a waste of money. That kind of attitude it's why people down the line complain about polluted aquifers, algae bursts, etc. and why land is destroyed at outrageous rates. The plants CAN'T handle such concentrations, reason why it burn... It's a simple way to leach undesired components to everybody else. Really stupid attitude. For pit sake people learn a tiny little bit about what you're doing, don't mess it to yourself and to all others. ;-)

Purple leaves are actually a sign of phosphorous deficiency, not nitrogen. Nitrogen deficiency is recognized by the yellowing of the first true leaves (older bottom leaves) because of its mobility in the plant. Don't forget to apply phosphorous at planting at a higher rate than nitrogen using something like a 5-10-30 fertilizer also known as a pop-up fertilizer.
