Alan Norton training the farmers at New Creations Church, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Alan Norton taught the farmers how to top dress their maize plants: with heavy soil, you top dress once but in sandy soils you top dress twice. Top dressing takes place 3 weeks after emergence. You can top dress with urea or ammonium nitrate. If you use urea, it needs to be covered.
Alternate top dressings of chicken soup made from chicken manure is being looked into as well as a natural herb called comfrey.
