Description
Each bushel of corn will take up approximately 1.4 lb of nitrogen (N), 0.5 lb of phosphate (P2O5), and 1.2 lb of potash (K2O), along with other essential elements. If soil reserves cannot supply adequate amounts of these essential nutrients, additional nutrients must be provided by fertilizer, manure, or legumes. Nitrogen, phosphate, and occasionally potash and zinc are most commonly deficient.
