For optimal plant growth, space maize plants 30 cm apart within rows and maintain 75 cm between rows. This spacing provides adequate room for the plants to grow without overcrowding. Seed Rate: The recommended seed rate for Hybrid DH04 is approximately 20 kg per acre, depending on the germination rate and planting conditions. Planting Depth: Plant the maize seeds at a depth of 4-5 cm to ensure good germination and root establishment. Fertilization: Basal Fertilizer: Apply 250 kg per acre of a balanced fertilizer like NPK (23:23:23) at planting to provide essential nutrients for early growth. Top Dressing: After 4 to 6 weeks, apply 100 kg per acre of CAN (Calcium Ammonium Nitrate) to boost growth and support grain formation. Irrigation: While DH04 is drought-tolerant, supplemental irrigation during dry periods, particularly during flowering and grain filling, will help to maximize yields.
