How long does it take for corn to germinate?

To germinate corn, you need to choose the most suitable conditions. Generally, it will germinate in 3-5 days. Since the temperature in summer is more suitable, corn seeds can germinate 4-7 days after sowing. If sown in spring, the germination time will be slightly longer, and it will take 7-12 days for the corn to germinate.

Corn germination time

The time for corn germination mainly depends on the variety of corn, as well as the climate and soil conditions of each location. If every aspect is suitable, the time for corn germination is generally 5-10 days. On the contrary, if the conditions for planting corn are not suitable, the time for corn germination will be extended and the germination rate will be lower.

Management of corn after emergence

1. After the corn seedlings emerge, top dressing should be carried out, which can promote root growth, strengthen seedlings, promote leaf growth, etc. Generally, you can choose to apply 10-15 kg of urea and 5-7 kg of potassium chloride per mu when the corn grows 4-5 leaves. This will allow the corn seedlings to grow better.

2. During the entire corn seedling removal period, a large amount of water is not required. Just keep the upper layer of soil loose and dry. If it is rainy, pay attention to timely drainage to prevent water accumulation in the corn field.
