Application Guidelines

Vuna Fertilizer, such as Mea Vuna Plus NPK 15:15:15, is applied as a basal or top-dressing fertilizer, depending on crop needs and growth stage. Follow these guidelines for optimal results:

Basal Application (At Planting)

1. Maize (e.g., SC Sungura 301):

   • Rate: 250kg per acre (50kg/ha) of Vuna NPK 15:15:15.

   • Mix with soil in furrows (75cm apart, 4–5cm deep), sow seeds (30cm apart), and cover. Apply at the onset of rains (March–May or October–December).

2. Beans (e.g., Yellow Beans KAT B1):

   • Rate: 200kg per acre (2kg for 0.5–1 acre, equivalent to a 2kg packet).

   • Place in furrows (45cm apart, 4–5cm deep), 20cm from seeds to avoid burning, and cover. Use with BIOFIX (20–30g per 2kg seeds) for nitrogen fixation.

3. Onions (e.g., Russet F1):

   • Rate: 200kg per acre post-transplanting.

   • Apply in furrows (30cm apart) around transplants (10cm apart), followed by irrigation.

4. Spinach (e.g., Indian Palak):

   • Rate: 150kg per acre (0.3kg for 0.01–0.02 acres, equivalent to 4gm seed coverage).

   • Mix into raised beds (25–30cm apart) before sowing seeds (5–10cm apart).

Top-Dressing

• Maize: Apply 100kg per acre of Vuna NPK 15:15:15 at 4–6 weeks post-emergence, around plant bases, followed by irrigation.

• Beans: Use 50kg per acre at 2–3 weeks, before flowering, to support pod formation.

• Onions and Spinach: Apply 50kg per acre 2–3 weeks post-planting or transplanting for vigorous growth.

Application Notes

• Mixing: Combine with MycoApply Endo Prime EA (4g/acre) at planting to enhance nutrient uptake via mycorrhizal fungi.

• Irrigation: Water after application (20 liters/m²) to ensure nutrient absorption, especially in semi-arid areas like Machakos.

• Complementary Fertilizers: Use with Easy Gro Starter (30–40g/20l, 2–3kg/ha) for seedlings and OPTIMIZER (10ml/20l) for foliar micronutrients.

Soil and Climate Compatibility

• Soil Type: Effective in well-drained loamy or sandy loam soils with high organic matter; pH 6.0–7.0. Avoid waterlogged or highly acidic soils.

• Climate: Suitable for temperatures of 15–33°C and rainfall of 250–2,000mm, covering semi-arid to highland zones (0–2,500m).

• Regions: Machakos, Makueni, Nakuru, Kisumu, Kirinyaga, Nyeri, and other crop-growing areas in Kenya.

Expected Impact

• Yield Increase: Up to 30% yield improvement (e.g., Yellow Beans KAT B1: 7–9 bags/acre to 9–11 bags/acre; SC Sungura 301 Maize: 25–30 bags/acre to 32–39 bags/acre).

• Income: Enhances profitability (e.g., KSh 420,000–630,000 to KSh 540,000–770,000 per acre for Yellow Beans at KSh 6,000–7,000 per 90kg bag).

• Soil Health: Improves soil fertility, reduces acidity, and enhances nutrient availability, supporting sustainable farming.
