How much is the average yield of corn per mu? The cost and profit of growing corn

Corn yield per mu

The per-acre yield of corn is generally around 400-600 kilograms, but this number is not fixed because it is related to many factors such as corn variety, climate environment, and management methods. If properly maintained, the per-acre yield of corn can be as high as 900 kilograms.

Corn Planting Prospects

The prospect of growing corn is still not very promising. The current purchase price of corn is around 0.8-1 yuan per catty. The initial investment per mu of land is about 500 yuan, so the net profit can only reach 600 yuan.

As one of the three major staple foods in the world, it is currently very difficult to make money from corn. If you want to make a profit, you must find a way to increase the yield and quality of corn.

How to grow corn for high yield

1. Site selection and land preparation

When planting corn, you need to choose an area with flat terrain, deep soil, good permeability, and good water and fertilizer retention capabilities. Only if the soil is sufficiently fertile can you get a higher yield of corn.

2. Apply enough basal fertilizer

If you want to obtain high yields of corn, it is very important to apply enough base fertilizer, which can improve the physical properties of the soil, facilitate the activity of microorganisms, provide sufficient nutrients to the plants in time, promote the development of the root system, and create a good environment for strong seedlings.
