What month was the corn planted?

Corn is a crop often planted by farmers, and it is also one of the favorite foods for many people. I think the process of growing corn is familiar to people who grew up in the countryside.

In my hometown, there are two ways to grow corn, and in different periods, the planting methods are also different. Let me sort out these two different planting methods and the corresponding planting time with you.

1 month seedling raising for rural areas, April is the time when winter crops have not been harvested, but at this time, preparations for planting summer crops will begin.

In addition to conventional seedling raising, cultivating corn seedlings is also one of the tasks we need to do. In this season, cultivating corn seeds into seedlings is helpful to replant corn in time after harvest and improve the growth rate and corresponding yield of corn.

Mixing farmyard manure, soil and water according to a certain proportion, kneading the mixed fertile soil into small balls, and putting corn seeds in them; Then cover it with fine soil and finally water it with clear water. If the weather is cold, it can also be covered with film, thus completing the seedling raising of corn.

2. Sowing in May In addition to the above methods of planting corn, many people now think that the seedling raising process is too complicated and this step is omitted. After the crops are harvested in winter, the land is leveled, and then corn is sown.

In this process, it is only necessary to fertilize the whole land first, and then cultivate and level the land. Finally, according to the defined row spacing, you can sow corn in the field.

Compared with the process of seedling direct seeding, farm work will be much less; However, the corresponding growth of corn is not as good as that before transplanting. Moreover, the growth of corn is slower than that of seedling raising.

The above is my hometown, when and how to plant corn. Corn is usually sown in April-June, which will lead to the death of corn seedlings too early; If sowing is too late, it will also lead to corn missing the best growth period and reducing production.
