Fertilizer schedule
Use the stage cards as a planning checklist, then read country notes for local fertilizer language (rates are not prescriptions).
Inoculate seed with rhizobia when needed; supply phosphorus and potassium — legumes often need less N.
Use a low-N starter if soils are very poor; excess N reduces nodulation.
Maintain K and micronutrients (e.g. Mo, B where deficient); irrigate to reduce flower drop.
Excerpts from CropWhen calendar notes that mention fertilizer, manure, NPK, or related terms.
Irrigated. Organic manure and NPK application at the period of land preparation. Cultivation recommended in the north and south Tajikistan with sufficient irrigations.
The Archide is usually grown in pure ceratins households but we usually associate it with other cultures because it is not profitable and used as appetizers. No fertilizer application. Spacing: 40x20
Manual Labor into bolts. Practiced in rotation with maize. Monoculture and in association with maize. Fertilizer application. No chemical treatment.
Manual Labor flat. Practiced in rotation with maize. Monoculture and in association with maize. Fertilizer application. No chemical treatment.
Ridge tillage to animal or manual traction. Practiced in rotation with corn or sorghum. Fertilizer application. No chemical treatment.
Dryland rainfed, especially occupies the sloping surfaces. The major part of the seed needs are covered by domestic production. Sowing is done after dark rainy. Rainfed no fertilizer application. No expression irrigated. Often used in crop rotation on soil infested with nematodes.
Groundnuts are usually grown on newly cleared land. It's shifting cultivation on brûliis without fertilizer.
Organic matter is applied before planting
Rainfed. Mainly organic manure applied. Responds well to P application. Low seed rate for intercrop, while higher for pure stand
Follow the stage cards above (soil prep → planting → mid-season). Exact rates depend on soil tests and local packages — FAO notes below show how growers describe fertilization in different countries.
Treat them as historical/field guidance, not a prescription for your plot. Units and products differ by country. Confirm with agricultural extension before applying.
Not a fertilizer prescription. Over-application wastes money and can harm plants and waterways. Follow local extension packages.
