When is the best time to plant corn?

Corn planting time

The best time to plant corn is in April each year, and then it can be harvested in August each year. When planting corn, you should choose early-maturing and fast-growing varieties, and disinfect the soil. During the corn growing period, you should apply top dressing to increase the yield.

Corn growth cycle

Corn can grow into corn about 100-120 days after corn seeds are planted. Its growth stage starts from the sowing period, during which it will go through the seedling stage, ear stage and grain stage after sowing, and finally reach the mature stage when corn can be harvested.

Methods and steps for growing corn

1. When sowing corn, special attention should be paid to the sowing depth, which is required to be between 3-5 cm. If the soil is suitable, the sowing depth only needs to be about 3 cm. If the seeds are sown too deep, it will make it difficult for the seedlings to emerge.

2. When sowing spring corn, the seeds should be sown evenly to prevent uneven emergence of seedlings in each row. Sparse growth will waste land, while dense growth will cause the seedlings to compete with each other for water and nutrients, affecting growth and development. Therefore, dense planting should be carried out without wasting land to ensure that the seedlings grow healthily.
