Planted H614 on 15 March with DAP. When should I apply CAN, and how much per acre?

✓ Accepted answer

Top-dress at 6 to 8 leaves, about 5 weeks after planting, with one 50 kg bag of CAN per acre. Apply when the soil is moist, never before heavy rain, and keep it a hand away from the stem.

Most of my customers top-dress when the maize is knee high, around 4 to 6 weeks.

Whatever you do, make sure you dry it well before harvest time.
