Maize farming in Karimnagar
Maize is a heavy feeder of zinc, and white bud (pale, bleached young leaves) is the textbook sign it has run short. In Karimnagar, Telangana, the soil is red soils. Red soils drain fast and are often low in organic carbon, zinc and boron, so split nutrition works better than one heavy dose.
Two problems Karimnagar growers keep an eye on in maize are white bud and poor cob filling. Pale to white new leaves in young maize are linked to zinc deficiency.
Other crops grown around Karimnagar include paddy, cotton and vegetables, so plan sprays crop by crop rather than one schedule for the whole farm.
