The best time to plant corn and how to plant it

Corn planting time

Corn is planted in April every spring and can be harvested in August. When planting corn, you must first choose a variety suitable for the planting environment and thoroughly disinfect the soil. During the growth period of corn, you must also apply fertilizer in time, which can 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. Sowing seeds

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 be difficult for the seedlings to emerge.

2. Maintenance

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 area to ensure that the seedlings grow healthily.
