increasing maize yields

Maize at SnowPeas farm 1

Yields of more 50bags of maize per acre(4.5tons per acre or 11tons per ha) are achievable by a combination of deliberate actions. Specifically right variety of certified seeds, spacing adjustments and feeding to meet the nutritional needs of all plants in the field. We have done some close spacing in one of the blocks in Snow view farm, Kieni East Nyeri County that has already taken off very well. Keep it Kilimonews for more updates
