Spring corn planting time and method: when is the best time to grow seedlings

Spring corn planting time

The planting time for spring corn is in spring, usually between late April and mid-May. The temperature changes must be controlled before planting, because if the temperature is too low, it will affect its germination rate.

Spring corn planting methods and key points

1. Before planting spring corn, you need to prepare the land and apply fertilizer. First, select humus soil that is rich in trace elements and has strong drainage as planting soil, then turn the soil over and dry it to eliminate bacteria and pests in the soil. At the same time, you can also mix fertilizer into the soil to increase the fertilizer content in the soil.

2. When planting spring corn, you need to mix leaf mold with clean water to make a palm-sized ball of soil. Then use your fingers to press a hole in the center of the ball of soil. Put the corn seeds in it and cover it with a thin film of soil.

Spring corn planting precautions

1. Spring corn needs timely topdressing in the later stage. Generally, about 400-500 kg of nitrogen fertilizer is applied per hectare. When spreading it manually, be careful not to get too close to the root system to avoid burning the seedlings.

2. After transplanting spring corn, you can water it with unpolluted natural river water. This will keep the soil moist and provide it with all-day sunlight, allowing it to grow more vigorously.
