Application Rates
Corn is a notorious heavy feeder that rapidly exhausts soil nitrogen. Apply 500 to 600 kg of Vermicompost per Bigha to provide the massive, sustained energy required for stalk growth and cob filling.
When to Apply
Apply in furrows during sowing (basal) and at the tasseling stage (45 days).
Step-by-Step Application Guide
Furrowing
Dig deep trenches specifically for corn/maize planting.
Initial Dose
Place 500kg/bigha directly in the furrows.
Sowing
Plant corn seeds at a 2-inch depth above the compost.
Tasseling Stage
At 45 days, top-dress around the base of the plants.
Cob Formation
Re-hill the soil to support heavy stems and increase cob weight.
Protection from disease
Mitti Gold Vermicompost improves the soil biodiversity, which outcompetes pathogens like rust and smut. It strengthens the stalks and root systems of cereals, making them less susceptible to soil-borne diseases.
Maximum Kernel Fill, Zero Blanking
Corn grown entirely on chemical urea often suffers from "blanking" where the tip of the cob has missing kernels. The abundant trace minerals (Zinc and Boron) in Vermicompost ensure 100% pollination and perfect, golden, tightly packed kernels all the way to the tip.
Reviving Depleted Maize Fields
Continuous corn farming destroys the soil's physical structure. Adding high amounts of compost mechanically aerates the soil, allowing native earthworms to consume massive amounts of leftover dead corn stalks, turning them back into free fertilizer.
Sweet Corn and Grain Processing
Massive, unblemished, fully filled organic sweet corn cobs are bought at premium rates by retail grocery chains and organic poultry feed manufacturers.
