However, remember that from your farm, you can still get different soil test results, which then begs the question; would you have to buy two or more different types of fertiliser? A full production run is required to make a specific grade of a fertiliser, and this means only one grade can be produced at a time. Therefore, it is more important to consider the crop’s nutrient requirements, and supply them using a specific fertiliser. Different crops have different nutrient requirements, therefore, this should be considered when deciding what fertiliser to apply. Therefore, crop specific fertilisers, with rates adjusted for the soils conditions will certainly give you better value in your maize and coffee farming business.
