Autumn corn planting time and method planting technology and management

Autumn corn planting time

Autumn corn is planted in July every year and should not be delayed until August at the latest, otherwise the taste and yield will be easily affected. It can usually be harvested in mid-to-late October after sowing.

Autumn corn planting methods and key points

1. The seeds should be dried in the sun for 2 to 3 days in advance, and then soaked for 4 to 6 hours before sowing. This will help the seedlings to grow evenly. Be sure to measure the distance between two corns so that they can absorb water and nutrients evenly. After sowing, cover them with a 3 cm layer of soil and water them thoroughly.

2. Since the temperature is relatively high in the early autumn, the growing period of corn is shortened, so it is necessary to apply base fertilizer heavily. After sowing, use a machine to make a hole between the corn and the corn, apply appropriate fertilizer during the seedling period, and drain excess water in time.

Precautions for planting autumn corn

When planting autumn corn, there is one thing that needs special attention. If conditions permit, it should be harvested as late as possible without affecting the normal growth of the next crop. This can fully extend the time for corn to absorb nutrients and increase its fruit weight, thereby increasing corn yield or improving the quality of harvested corn.
