Can corn seedlings be transplanted?

Corn can be transplanted. Corn seedling transplanting is a new cultivation technology. It plays an important role in alleviating the contradiction between big and small springs, resisting drought and sowing early, and seizing the season. The time for seedling raising and sowing can be in spring, when the temperature is just the growing season for corn. Otherwise, if the seedlings are raised too early, they will be too old and will not grow well after transplanting, affecting the yield.

Corn seedling transplanting method

1. Seedling age requirements : Generally, the seedling age at the time of transplanting should be 4 to 6 leaves, which should be adapted to the variety used and the local climate characteristics. There are also large seedlings with 7 to 8 leaves for transplanting, but it is technically difficult to master. Improper management will cause slow seedling growth and affect the differentiation of corn ears, resulting in reduced yields.

2. Transplantation method : First dig trenches or dig the soil, then transplant and water as soon as possible. When the moisture level drops and the soil surface becomes dry, loosen the soil in time to promote the growth of new roots. After transplanting, strengthen management and apply fertilizer early to create conditions for corn jointing and ear differentiation.

Corn seedling transplanting precautions

1. Plot selection

When transplanting corn seedlings, you should pay attention to the selection of the site. It is best to transplant them to a site with sufficient sunlight, deep soil, loose and fertile soil, and convenient drainage and irrigation. Before transplanting, you need to deep plow the soil and mix an appropriate amount of base fertilizer into the soil to improve soil fertility.

2. Pay attention to seedling removal

When transplanting corn seedlings, you should also pay attention to lifting the seedlings. You can water them thoroughly one day before lifting them to avoid damage to the plants when lifting them. When lifting the seedlings, you should choose strong corn seedlings. Such seedlings have a higher survival rate after transplanting. Some weak and diseased seedlings are best eliminated.
