Fertiliser for Rice Crops – Kynoch Fertilizer
Optimise your Rice Crop Yields with the Right Fertiliser: A Guide by Kynoch Fertilizer.
Rice is a staple food for more than half of the world’s population, making its cultivation critically important for global food security. As one of the most widely grown crops, rice has specific nutrient requirements to achieve optimal growth and yield. Kynoch Fertilizer, a leading provider of innovative fertiliser solutions, understands the unique needs of rice crops and offers products tailored to maximise productivity and sustainability.
Understanding the Nutrient Needs of Rice Crops
Rice is a nutrient-intensive crop, requiring a balanced supply of essential elements to support its growth stages. The key nutrients required by rice plants include nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), as well as secondary nutrients like calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulphur (S), and micronutrients such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn).
- Nitrogen (N): Nitrogen is crucial for vegetative growth in rice plants. It promotes the development of leaves, stems, and overall plant biomass. An adequate supply of nitrogen ensures vigorous growth and enhances the photosynthetic capacity of the plant, leading to higher grain yield. However, excessive nitrogen can lead to lodging, where the rice plant becomes top-heavy and falls over, which can negatively impact yield.
- Phosphorus (P): Phosphorus is essential for energy transfer and storage in plants. It plays a vital role in root development, early growth, and the maturation process of rice plants. Adequate phosphorus levels ensure strong root systems, which are crucial for nutrient uptake and plant stability.
- Potassium (K): Potassium regulates various physiological processes in rice plants, including water uptake, enzyme activation, and photosynthesis. It also enhances the plant’s resistance to diseases and environmental stress. Adequate potassium levels contribute to improved grain quality and increased resistance to lodging.
- Secondary Nutrients: Calcium, magnesium, and sulphur are also important for rice cultivation. Calcium is essential for cell wall formation and stability, magnesium is a central component of chlorophyll, and sulphur is vital for protein synthesis and enzyme function.
- Micronutrients: Micronutrients, though required in smaller amounts, are equally important. Iron is crucial for chlorophyll synthesis, zinc is essential for hormone regulation and enzyme function, and manganese plays a role in photosynthesis and nitrogen assimilation.

Fertiliser Application Strategies for Rice
Effective fertiliser management in rice cultivation involves understanding the nutrient requirements at different growth stages and adopting suitable application techniques. The goal is to supply the right nutrients in the right amounts at the right time.
- Pre-Planting: Before planting, soil testing is essential to determine the nutrient status of the soil. Based on the test results, appropriate fertilisers can be applied to correct any deficiencies. This pre-planting application often includes phosphorus and potassium, which are essential for root development and early growth.
- Basal Application: A basal application of fertilisers is done at the time of planting. This ensures that essential nutrients are available to the rice seedlings as they establish themselves. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are typically included in this application.
- Top-Dressing: Nitrogen is often applied in split doses throughout the growing season to match the crop’s uptake pattern. Top-dressing involves applying nitrogen fertiliser during the tillering and panicle initiation stages. This helps in maintaining adequate nitrogen levels for sustained growth and development.
- Foliar Application: Foliar application of micronutrients can be beneficial in addressing specific deficiencies. This method allows for quick uptake of nutrients through the leaves, providing a rapid solution to nutrient imbalances.
Range of Biostimulants
KynoHumate – Black™
KynoHumate™ is used as a soil amendment and stimulates root development and growth. KynoHumate™ contains humic acids that have many benefits for the soil environment and plant metabolism. It forms an important part of soil biology and serves as a source of energy for microorganisms. One of the major benefits is the retention of nutrients against leaching and the increase in nutrient availability. Humates help the plants tolerate salinity stress.
KynoFulvate – Yellow™
KynoFulvate™ stimulates plant growth and promotes nutrient uptake. It can be used applied either as a foliar or directly to the soil application and can be combined with other fertilizer products. KynoFulvate™ contains fulvic acids. Fulvates can be absorbed by plants and seeds and have a direct effect on many plant processes. Among other things they improve seed germination, increasing the energy levels and increase membrane permeability. Complexes are formed with nutrients within the soil that mobilize these nutrients. While within the plant the nutrient movement (membrane permeability) is increased. Both promote nutrient uptake.
KynoKelp™
KynoKelp™ is seaweed suspension containing natural macro and micro elements that can be used as a foliar application or root application. It is derived from the kelp species Ecklonia maxima, which grows along the Atlantic coast of Southern Africa. Kynokelp™ encourages the growth of plant roots. The improved root growth increases nutrient absorption and water use. Higher yields are produced by established, stronger plants. The plants experience extreme stress while producing fruit, which Kynokelp™ can help manage. Kynokelp™ aids plants in managing additional stress factors that could restrict growth.
Ultra Starter® is a dry, premium granular fertilizer formulated with high quality raw materials. The granules are coated with a highly concentrated micro-element formulation. The micro-element coating provides plant-available zinc, iron, manganese, copper and boron. Ultra Starter contains additional sulfur and magnesium, as well as a specialized potassium source that has a lower salt index.
Crops require all of the essential elements for optimal growth, development, and production. Micro-elements are an important component of these essential elements. The Ultra Range is an efficient way to follow a balanced nutritional approach.
There are a number of conditions that can result in micro-element deficiencies. The Ultra Range contributes by providing additional required nutrition. Fertilizer typically causes an acidified zone in the band. Micro-elements in this acidified zone remain available for a longer period for plant uptake, especially in higher pH soils.
