#Seedco's guide on how to take care of a maize crop from planting up to harvesting:
1. Planting: Row spacing should be 60-90 cm between rows and 20-30 cm between plants. Ensure proper soil tilling, add organic matter and fertilizers. 2. Fertilizer application: Apply fertilizer that contains nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium at planting. Side-dress with nitrogen fertilizer at the 6-8 leaf stage and at tasselling stage.
3. Irrigation: Irrigate your crops once a week in the absence of adequate rainfall.
