Why Physiostart is the Smart Choice for UK Maize Growers in 2025

Maize offers a range of benefits to those growing it. It has high yield potential and versatility to grow in a range of different climates, due to a number of varieties available on the market. Growing maize can offer cost saving for the grower, in comparison to other crops, with the ability to use minimal tillage, alongside environmental benefits like the reduction for spray usage.

We have a range of Maize seed varieties available, for more information browse our Maize Seed Guide.

Maize can’t afford a slow start. Cold seedbeds, poor rooting, or locked-up phosphate can cost you yield before your crop even gets going.

That’s why ADM Agriculture recommends Physiostart – a precision-applied microgranular fertiliser designed to supercharge maize establishment.
