For village teams accustomed to intercropping and relay intercropping, draw on experience from previous years and continue to promote intercropping or crop rotation of corn with watermelon, soybean, peanut, Chinese medicinal herbs and other crops, to improve the planting structure and build up soil fertility;

For areas with poor production conditions that depend on the weather and have unstable yields, plant minor grains, minor beans, root and tuber crops and other crops that need less water.

In terms of variety selection, small high-yield trial plots can use varieties with high yield potential such as Denghai 618, while field planting can use varieties that tolerate dense planting, have good overall resistance and stable yields, such as Zhengdan 958, Heyu 127, Yuyu 30, Hualiang 78 and Liyu 35; for silage corn, varieties with high biological yield such as Siyu 2 and Denghai 605 can be planted; for fresh-eating corn, varieties with good taste, color and market appearance such as Qingnong 206, Xixing Wucai Xiannuo and Jining Nuo 33 can be planted; for mechanical grain harvesting, varieties with a short growth period, fast grain dehydration, moderate ear height and strong lodging resistance such as Jingnongke 728, Ludan 2016 and Yuyu 30 can be planted.
