Default Beginning corn plants again

Planting second round here in S. Diego. Can't seem to find definitive requirements for fertilizing at the beginning. We amended the soil but no fertilizer yet this year. I just bought high nitrogen fert. for feeding twice during the growing phase coming up, but don't understand if I should also include that at the beginning when planting the seed in the ground. Also, at my nursery, they didn't have pure nitrogen, so I bought "Citrus & Avocado" food bec. it had something like 14-4-8, about the highest nitrog. avail. there at the store. Is that okay to use? Or, is the 4-8 part BAD for growing the corn? Thanks so much.
