This video demonstrates how to plant corn, from preparing the soil to planting seeds and putting fertilizer and growing season 1


To plant yellow corn, prepare the soil by removing weeds and debris, then plow deeply and amend with limestone and cured manure if needed. Plant seeds in rows 75cm apart, with 20-25cm spacing between seeds, at a depth of 2-3cm. Ensure the soil is warm and has adequate moisture before planting. After germination, thin seedlings to one plant per hill.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Soil Preparation:

Clear the area:
Remove weeds, large stones, and other debris from the planting area.

Plow and till:
Plow the soil deeply (around 10 inches) to loosen it for germination and root development.
Amend the soil:
If needed, amend the soil with limestone and cured manure to improve fertility and structure.
Consider soil testing:
If unsure about soil quality, get a soil test to determine pH and nutrient levels.

2. Planting:

Make furrows: Create furrows or rows about 75cm apart.

Planting depth and spacing: Plant seeds 2-3cm deep, with 20-25cm spacing between plants within the row, according to corn farming guides.
Planting density: For hybrids, plant 1-2 seeds per hill, according to corn production guidelines.
Even planting: Use a mechanical planter for more uniform depth and spacing, or ensure consistent hand planting.
Watering: Irrigate or wait for rainfall before planting to promote even emergence.

3. Post-Planting:

Thinning: About 7-10 days after emergence, thin seedlings to one plant per hill.

Weed control: Control weeds as needed through manual removal or herbicide application.
Fertilizing: Side-dress fertilizer before tasseling, applying it 5cm away from the base of the plant and covering it with soil.

4. Key Considerations:
Soil temperature: Ensure the soil temperature is warm enough for germination (ideally above 10°C).
Synchronous planting: Plant around the same time as other farmers in the area to minimize pest and disease problems.
Pest and disease management: Monitor for pests and diseases and take appropriate control measures.
