Description
The success of a maize crop begins long before green shoots break through the soil – it starts with germination. In this episode, Kerry Rowlands, seasoned field agronomist at Pannar Seed, unpacks why planting depth, soil moisture, and nutrient support are the “terms and conditions” for a strong start.
From the science behind seed activation to the risks of cold injury and the role of starter fertilisers like phosphate and zinc, Kerry explains how small adjustments at planting can make a big difference at harvest.
We also explore how biostimulants and plant growth regulators are giving farmers an extra edge in stressful conditions.
