Fertilizer selection plays a major role in crop performance and overall farm productivity. In Kenya, soil conditions vary widely, making it important to understand your soil before application.
Start with a soil test to determine nutrient deficiencies. This helps you choose between organic and inorganic fertilizers based on your crop needs. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are essential for growth, but micronutrients are equally important.
Applying the right fertilizer at the correct stage of crop growth improves nutrient uptake and boosts yields. Over-application, however, can damage crops and increase costs.
Farmers should also consider slow-release fertilizers and soil conditioners to improve long-term soil health. Consistent use of balanced nutrition leads to stronger, more resilient crops.
