When is the corn harvested?

Spring corn is usually harvested in August-September, and autumn corn can only be harvested around 10.

Generally speaking, the harvest time of corn is when the ears of corn dry, the color turns yellow and the seeds are full. Corn is divided into spring corn and autumn corn, and the harvest time is naturally different with different sowing time. Planting spring corn in the north, sowing from the end of April to the beginning of May every year, flowering in July and harvesting in August-September; Autumn corn is planted in the south. It is sown in July and blooms in September every year, and it can only be harvested around 10.

Spring sowing corn has the advantages of early planting time, early harvest and high yield, and is suitable for planting varieties with low temperature and drought tolerance. Summer maize is sown late and harvested late, so varieties with good heat resistance and early maturity but relatively low yield and quality should be selected.

Matters needing attention in corn harvest

2. Mild treatment: When harvesting corn, avoid excessive shaking or throwing to avoid damage.

5. Timely treatment: treat corn as soon as possible after harvest to prevent fruit rot or quality degradation.

6. Storage conditions: Before storage, the corn should be cleaned and dried, and the appropriate temperature and humidity should be selected to extend the storage period.

7. Regular inspection: During storage, regularly check whether there are problems such as rot and mildew in corn, and deal with them in time.
