Hello Noma, In my case I apply NPK 4 weeks after planting and Urea 3 weeks after. Rice farm is urea all through. I await other knowledgeable folks to comment.

Hi @Noma1133,
NPK is the first nutrient requirement for crops just like baby milk from a nursing mother known as colostrum. The best time of application is at planting, while the next stage of application is at 4 weeks which is urea fertilizer. Therefore, give 4 weeks gap and apply urea. This serves for both maize and rice.

Crops that get NPK at planting perform better than those that got there's weeks after. As much as possible, apply at planting or within the first 10 days. You wil be exposing your crop to real stress by delaying NPK application early enough.

Im having surgery with Dr. Castellanos on the 20th, and although I have a handout about what to expect, Id like to hear from people who have gone through it. What were your experiences after surgery?
