SUMMARY Two experiments were conducted on timing the application of N to maize on Njala upland soils in Sierra Leone. Application of all the N (urea) at planting or thinning gave lower leaf N values and relatively poor yields compared to split applications. Lower grain yields in the minor season might have been due to poor and inadequate rainfall. Basal application of SCU does not seem to release enough N for maximum grain yield of maize. Total N (urea) in the major and minor seasons may be phased in two splits, viz. ½ N 30 DAP + ½ N 50 DAP or ⅓ N at planting + ⅔ N 25 DAP, respectively.
