Too Much Fertilizer ≠ (not equal to) More Yield! Know the Law of Diminishing Returns!
Think piling on fertilizer guarantees a bumper harvest? Think again!
Applying too much can backfire – your soil gets overwhelmed, nutrients get locked out, and your maize yield might even DROP!
💡 Here’s the science: The law of diminishing returns means after a certain point, extra fertilizer does little (or harms!). A truckload won’t magically grow more cobs… it could stunt them!
✅ Smart Farming Tips:
→ Test your soil first.
→ Follow recommended fertilizer rates.
→ Focus on balance – healthy soil = healthy crops!
