LUBOFOS ® CORN

EU FERTILISING PRODUCT ● GRANULATED ● COMPLEX MACRONUTRIENT FERTILISER
NPK (Ca, S) 5-10-21-(15-19) WITH BORON (B) 0.09 AND ZINC (Zn) 0.20

  • particularly recommended for corn
  • ensures high yields of grain, CCM, silage and green fodder
  • meets the specific demand of corn for phosphorus and zinc – the nutrients critical to high yield
  • improves the efficiency of nitrogen fertilisation
  • also recommended for growing peas, onions and flax
  • due to the content of zinc and boron, it is also recommended for fruit and vegetables
  • very good spreading properties

Usage

The highest efficiency is achieved by applying the fertiliser before sowing and mixing it with the soil at a depth of 10–20 cm during pre-sowing tillage.

The fertiliser can also be used as a starter dose, i.e., sown together with the corn seeds.

When used with fruits, fertilisation should be carried out after fruit harvest. For vegetable crops, the fertiliser should be sown during the preparation of the site. Use doses depending on the abundance of available phosphorus and potassium in the soil and the expected yield.



Dosage [kg/ha]

in corn cultivation for grain and CCM*

YIELDS LEVEL CONTENT OF AVAILABLE PHOSPHORUS AND POTASSIUM IN THE SOIL**
low medium high very high***
average (6 t/ha) 550-650 350-450 100-250 50-100
high (9,5 t/ha) 700-800 500-650 250-380 100-200

* In corn cultivation for ensilage, the dose of fertilizer applied to a station with average and low soil content, shall be
increased by 50 kg/ha.
** In a situation where both nutrients belong to different classes of abundance, the fertilizer dose is set for the nutrient in the lower class.
*** In good weather conditions, the yield may be higher than has been assumed.
