When to sow spring corn in 2019, and when is it harvested in different regions?
Now no matter what kind of vegetables or fruits you plant, you have to start preparing in advance. You can't wait until spring to leisurely buy seedlings and pesticides and then go till the soil. Spring is about to arrive, and the work of sowing spring corn is also coming soon. Many friends may have questions, when to sow spring corn in 2019? When is the harvest time in different regions? Today the editor has compiled and organized the following content for everyone, let's take a look together.
1. When to sow spring corn in 2019?
Spring corn in 2019 is generally sown starting from April to May. Spring corn is mainly planted in regions such as Northeast China and Inner Mongolia. April to May is exactly the time when temperatures in these regions warm up, and every year sowing starts during this period. By around October it can be harvested, and the yield mainly depends on the environmental and weather changes of that year.
Note: Everyone should not sow spring corn too early. In many regions the temperature has not yet risen in March, the snow accumulation is severe and has not completely melted, and both the internal and external temperatures are very low. If there is rainfall on top of that, it may cause the seeds to mold or rot, which is very unfavorable for that year's harvest.
2. How to carry out field management of spring corn?
The field management of spring corn mainly involves weeding, thinning seedlings, and replanting missing seedlings. So that everyone can better understand the situation, let's explain them separately.
1. Weeding is very common. To prevent weeds in the field from growing wildly, corn needs one round of weeding in the first week after sowing is completed. Generally, herbicides such as 2,4—D butyl ester can be chosen, which can suppress weeds relatively comprehensively. If encountering straw, the dosage can be increased.
2. Thinning and replanting seedlings are carried out after the corn has fully emerged. According to that year's seedling emergence situation, then promptly carry out thinning and replanting work. Because the spacing for planting spring corn differs between the south and the north, everyone can determine the quantity according to the actual situation, and check whether there are many missing seedlings before operating. Before replanting, the seeds should first be soaked for a day so that they can fully absorb water.
3. Sowing and harvesting times for spring corn in different regions
1. Shandong: Shandong can generally plant spring corn in early April, and because of temperature conditions, it can be harvested every year in August.
2. South: Because the south is in the Yangtze River Basin, spring corn is also sown starting in April, and it can be harvested in early July.
3. Hebei: Corn planting in Hebei is divided into spring corn and autumn corn. Like other regions, sowing also starts from April to May every year, and it can generally be harvested by the end of August.
That is all the summary for today on questions related to spring corn. The sowing time for spring corn is actually not very different, and everyone only needs to grasp that year's sowing amount. If there are weather problems, it can be postponed for some time, and the harvest will naturally be later as well.
