Takeaway
At paddy boot stage, apply 25 kg urea + 25 kg potash + 50 kg Ca-Mg-S per acre to eliminate empty grains and maximise yield.
Summary
- At the panicle-initiation (potta) stage paddy needs urea + potash plus secondary nutrients calcium, magnesium and sulphur (CMS).
- Nitrogen (urea) drives chlorophyll, foliar greenness and vegetative growth.
- Potash builds starch reserves, improves photosynthesis, strengthens disease resistance and ensures proper grain-filling (paalu posukondam).
- CMS: calcium strengthens cell walls and stems; magnesium drives chlorophyll/photosynthesis; sulphur boosts chlorophyll and acts as a fungicide buffer.
- Recommended dose: 25 kg urea + 25 kg potash + 50 kg CMS per acre at the boot/panicle-initiation stage.
