The process of corn germination

The process of corn germination

The growth process of corn generally consists of three stages: seedling stage, ear stage and flower and grain stage. The seedling stage is from sowing to germination of its seeds, at this time it is generally two centimeters high. The ear stage is a period of vigorous growth, at this time it has both nutritional and reproductive growth.

During the flowering and grain formation stage, there is generally only reproductive growth. This period is an important period for the formation of corn grains. Generally, more light is required, and it is best to control the temperature of its growth environment between 10 degrees Celsius and 12 degrees Celsius.

Corn planting time

Corn is usually planted around April in spring, or in mid-July in autumn. It will usually germinate and emerge from the soil about a month after planting, and can be harvested around August.

Corn sprouts

The newly sprouted corn is usually light green in color and relatively fragile. Corn kernels are the seeds of corn, which are usually composed of seed coat, endosperm and embryo. Generally, fresh and plump corn kernels are better.
