You should fertilize corn when planting and late in the growing season. More Info: Assuming the soil pH is unknown, when initially planting corn till into 100 square feet of soil 3-4 pounds of a commercial fertilizer such as 12-12-12. As soon as the plant has reached a height of 16-18â high side dress the plant with additional fertilizer at a rate of one tablespoon per hill. Fertilize the soil not the plant and water deeply. The best way to tell exactly how much fertilizer and/or soil amendments you will need is to have your soil tested.
When to fertilize depends on if your lawn is made up of cool season grass or warm season grass. Cool season grasses (tall and fine fescues, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass) look best when the weather is cooler: fall, winter and spring.In times of hot, dry weather they can go dormant.arm season grasses should be fertilized from the time of green up in spring through September, with supplemental winter feeding if overseeded with a cool season grass. But wait -- you've seen lawn services fertilize cool season lawns in summer.
