  ABSTRACT: To understand the response of quality protein maize to the different dates of NKP basal fertilizer application in the acid soils of the southwest of the DRC, an experiment was carried out during two cropping seasons (2019-2021) following a factorial design. The first factor was the season (two levels), the second was the period of fertilizer application (three levels) and the third was the variety (four levels). The experiment was repeated three times. Two varieties of quality protein maize were compared to two varieties of normal maize. Quality Protein Maize outperformed normal maize in growth and production parameters. The effects of season and date of fertilizer application strongly influenced (p
