Maize Farmer Praises ICL Potash

As a maize farmer, Muslim Ahmad knows the importance of choosing the right fertilizers for his crops, and when it comes to potassium nutrition Muslim strongly recommends farmers use ICL Potash.

Maize Needs Potassium

Ensuring sufficient potassium is critical for maize crops, as a shortage can reduce plant growth, cause yellowing or browning of leaf margins, and, most importantly, impact grain filling which reduces the financial return on the harvest.

Farming 8 hectares of maize in the Barpeta district of Assam, India, Muslim Ahmad relies on ICL Potash for his maize and encourages other farmers to do the same, highlighting its high potassium content and positive impact on yields. With more than 60% K₂O, ICL Potash has the highest K content of any standard potash fertilizer on the market.

“I strongly recommend every farmer use ICL Potash on their farm to achieve higher yields and greater benefits.”

Maize has a strong demand for potassium right from the crop establishment through to harvest, and plays an important role in vegetative growth, protein content, number of grain cobs and overall yield of the crop.

Benefits Beyond Yield

Muslim Ahmad also highlights an additional benefit: stronger, healthier maize plants that are better able to withstand environmental stresses, including certain pests and diseases, resulting in a substantial increase in crop yield.

With such impressive results, it’s no surprise that he wants other farmers to benefit from ICL Potash as well.
