Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Fertilizer application in maize plantations should be completed before the tasseling stage, as tasseling is the stage of formation of flowering and reproduction stages, so the nutrient requirement should be full field before the tasseling stage for maximum yield. It takes place when the plant reaches its full height and begins to shed its pollen for fertilization.
