Fruit corn planting steps:
First, variety selection
Early maturing varieties such as Tiancui No.8 are suitable for fruit corn.
Second, the planting density
Fruit corn should be sown in the finely turned soil at the beginning of April, with row spacing of 40 cm, plant spacing of 20 cm, sowing depth of 3-5 cm and planting density of 3000-3500 plants of 667 square meters.
Third, fine management.
Fruit corn seeds are shriveled, the germination rate is low, and the seedling vigor is weak. In order to strive for neat, complete and Miao Zhuang seedlings, seeds can be soaked 1 day before sowing. Before sowing, water and fertilize the soles of the feet, isolate the fruit corn or stagger the pollination period with the surrounding corn to avoid affecting the quality. If it is not isolated, it must be bagged to ensure the quality of corn. Fruit corn should be fully watered at small bell mouth stage, big bell mouth stage and tasseling stage, and supplemented with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. If flood irrigation is used, attention should be paid to uprooting weeds and loosening soil in time to prevent soil hardening. Due to the serious extension of some bracts of fruit corn, the corn grains at the ear tip may be exposed and easily eaten by insects, which may affect the quality. In the middle and late stage, it is necessary to control pests such as Taurus, aphids and corn borers, especially Taurus.
Fourth, selection and listing.
About 20 days after pollination, fruit corn can be tasted in the field according to the color and dryness of filaments, and the best picking time can be grasped in time. The picking period of fruit and corn is short, so it is difficult to keep fresh. Therefore, sowing by stages should be paid attention to in large-scale cultivation.
