Latest Waxy Corn Planting Technology Tutorial and Management Methods
Waxy corn is also called glutinous corn and waxy-type corn. It is a variety of corn and is grown in various regions across our country. The planting technology for waxy corn is relatively simple, and its growth cycle is also relatively short. It is a corn variety that combines economic, nutritional, and processing value, and it is welcomed by many people. So how should waxy corn be planted? And how should it be managed? Below, the editor brings you the planting technology and management of waxy corn. Let's take a look!
1. Land Selection and Fertilization
When planting waxy corn, we must first choose the planting soil well. The planting soil for waxy corn should mainly be plots with flat terrain, deep and soft soil layers, normal drainage and irrigation, and good fertility conditions. Maintain a good bottom moisture environment. If the soil moisture is poor, then pay attention to watering the spring water well. Ensure the yield and quality of waxy corn. Then also pay attention to doing a good job in fertilization. The base fertilizer for waxy corn should mainly be farmyard manure, with a dosage kept at about 1500kg per mu, combined with about 40kg of compound fertilizer. Apply it before sowing in combination with land preparation, and it is best to apply it in concentrated furrows.
2. Timely Sowing
Sowing can begin when the temperature in the soil layer about 10cm deep in the planting soil is stable at about 10 degrees. However, the main thing is still to control the sowing time according to the region. Generally, it should be carried out in March to April. High-ridge planting is mainly used, and the plant spacing and row spacing should be kept at about 30*40cm. Sow about 3 seeds in each sowing hole to ensure that the number of seedlings retained per mu is not less than 3500 plants. Then also pay attention to pressing soil along the film edges, and this should not be excessive. Ensure that the width of the film surface can be maintained to the greatest extent, increase the light-receiving area, and thereby improve the utilization rate of the plastic film.
3. Water and Fertilizer Management
When planting waxy corn, the soil moisture should be controlled well according to the actual growth situation of the corn. If the moisture is poor and the soil is dry, water in time. During the growth of waxy corn, lack of water at any time is very unfavorable to its growth, but when watering, note that flood irrigation should not be used. Avoid excessive soil moisture, which can cause diseases and affect nutrient absorption. When watering, combine it with fertilization work, mainly by furrow application and hole application. Urea can be used as fertilizer, and attention should also be paid to supplementing zinc fertilizer. Then also appropriately spray foliar fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate to enhance the plant's lodging resistance.
4. Scientific Chemical Regulation
When planting waxy corn, also appropriately spray corn growth regulator to dwarf the corn plants and enhance photosynthetic capacity. Delay plant senescence, promote early maturity of waxy corn, and also increase yield. When spraying, pay attention to the spraying period. Usually, it is done at the late stage of the corn large trumpet stage, that is, one week before tasseling. Then also pay attention to the spraying concentration. Generally, about 30kg should be sprayed per mu after being mixed with about 30kg of water. Mainly mix and use immediately to ensure uniform spraying, with no repeated spraying or missed spraying, so as to avoid phytotoxicity caused by excessively high concentration.
The above is a brief introduction to the planting technology and management of waxy corn. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
