Apply 50 kg/acre of granular CMS (Ca-Mg-S) at flowering/booting to fix secondary-nutrient gaps and raise yield.

Summary

  • CMS (Calcium 20%, Magnesium 5%, Sulphur 20%) is the main secondary nutrient after NPK and supports photosynthesis, chlorophyll, flowering and grain quality.
  • Apply 50 kg per acre in granular form; can be used alone or mixed with urea/20-20.
  • Use at paddy booting stage; for other crops apply at flowering and fruit-set.
  • Calcium and magnesium raise soil pH; sulphur lowers high pH — target soil pH near 7.
  • Granular form (~Rs.500 per 50 kg in speaker's area) gives best result; also available as water-soluble and liquid.
