The next feed, and a week’s delay
Kharif 2026
We put the calcium, magnesium and sulphur application back by a week so we could oversee it and make sure the work was done as intended.
For 3 November, we planned potash, urea and DAP in a 2:2:1 ratio, totalling 100 g of fertiliser product per plant. That split works out to 40 g potash, 40 g urea and 20 g DAP per plant.
What was recorded
| Product or material | Recorded amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Potash | 40 g | planned per plant; calculated from the 2:2:1 mix |
| Urea | 40 g | planned per plant; calculated from the 2:2:1 mix |
| DAP | 20 g | planned per plant; calculated from the 2:2:1 mix |
| Total fertiliser product | 100 g | planned product weight per plant |
