In order to save land, farmers will plant something else on the land where crops have been planted, hoping to maximize land use. My family used to grow watermelons in corn fields, and the harvest was okay. However, it would affect the lighting rate of the watermelons. Some watermelons may also have white flesh. I don’t know what causes this. So, can I grow it in corn fields? What about growing vegetables there?
Corn fields
Interplanting between corns is an important technology for grain growth. It can not only improve land use efficiency and increase the multiple cropping index, but also reduce weeds among cash crops and reduce the number of weeds among cash crops. Returning corn stalks to fields can enhance land fertility and reduce labor intensity, while also improving production efficiency. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Corn fields
Corn fields are interplanted with shiitake mushrooms, corn fields are interplanted with straw mushrooms, corn fields are interplanted with rapeseed, corn fields are interplanted with potatoes, etc. Farmers are trying more intercropping technology. In recent years, interplanting medicinal materials in corn fields, interplanting coriander in corn fields, interplanting beans in corn fields, interplanting celery in corn fields, etc. have appeared. As long as the basic interplanting techniques are mastered, I believe that farmers can make full use of land resources and transform their own crops. Maximize revenue.
The following is an introduction to the technology of interplanting cucumbers between corns in the corn field:
1. The purpose of interplanting cucumbers between corns is to plant cucumbers in summer and autumn without reducing the yield of corns to meet the off-season of autumn vegetables. demand to achieve the goal of high yield and high profit.
2. Interplant corn before the wheat harvest, with a small row spacing of 50 to 60 cm, a large row spacing of 140 cm, and a spacing of 20 to 25 cm between each corn plant. After the wheat is harvested, build two rows of small ridges in the corn rows and plant two rows of cucumbers with a spacing of about 40 to 45 cm and a spacing of 25 to 27 cm between each plant.
3. Cucumbers have weak root systems, so more compost or organic fertilizer should be applied to maintain growth vitality. Generally, direct seeding in the open field is used to make cucumber seedlings emerge quickly. The seeds need to be soaked for three to four hours in advance.

4. When the true leaves of cucumber appear, it is necessary to leave them in time and leave one strong seedling in each pile. When the two leaves are in one center, start fertilizing to promote the growth of the seedlings.
5. The melon-bearing period is during the high-temperature season, so watering should be done in the morning or evening, once every two to three days. Topdress every two to three times during autumn harvest. 6. Do a good job in preventing and controlling pests and diseases. Summer and autumn are high temperatures and humid weather, and pests and diseases are common, especially in the rainy season. Check once every three days to prevent and control in time.
Corn fields
In short, corn fields can not only be interplanted with vegetables, but also other crops. As long as we make good use of our own land and master the intercropping technology between corns, we can not only make full use of the land resources, you can also double your income from farming.
