hi friends, all the steemians, wherever you are, hopefully you will be protected by Allah Ta'ala ... on this occasion I will develop a little farming tip about corn.
Corn cultivation is very clear, considering that this plant is a group of staple plants in several regions in Indonesia. For the cultivation of plants, it is not difficult if we plant in the garden. Consumption of corn fruit almost everyone has ever tasted it, there are so many processed fruits such as making jasuke (soybean milk corn) and other processed types. If you want to cultivate it in your place, there are several techniques so that the cultivation you use produces more fruit.
For cultivation and this technique you can apply to planting other corn. Why not ? Corn is only different varieties, although there are several ways that the difference may not be far away, for example you will plant sweet corn, corn baby corn, colorful corn, hybrid corn, bisi 2 corn and other types of corn. I don't like to beat around the bush in explanation, but you have to understand it. How will I explain in full if this article is only a little? this article is a bit long so let's start.
1. Choosing Varieties (Corn Seeds)
In the world of agriculture can not be separated in the selection of good varieties. The good news is you don't have to bother making or choosing the desired seeds. You can get good seeds at the nearest farm shops, they provide seeds such as hybrid seeds, sweet corn and other types of seeds. You can also order corn seeds to local farmers or online farm shops. Calculate the seed requirements that you need.
2. Land and Clean Weeds on the Land.
Land is a condition that must be considered in the cultivation of corn plants, this determines in the growth of corn we will plant. Make sure the soil you are planting corn must be very fertile and contain a lot of nutrients. Corn belonging to plants that are not fussy they can be planted in parts of andosol, latosol or grumosol and other types of soil. Suitable pH for corn 5.6 - 7.5. Ensure that some of the land around us is fulfilled, and if you have just cleared the land, we must do fertilizer and land first. Look at the soil fertility that you have if you feel it lacks nutrients and there is no humus, I suggest when you make beds spread manure in the distribution area.
3. Plant Corn on Land.
I assume that you have obtained seeds of superior varieties and land management has been done. The most suitable conditions for planting corn in soil conditions are moist, not too muddy and not too dry. Usually local farmers use a spacing of between 100 cm x 40 cm and give 2 seeds to one planting hole. For the depth of the planting hole you can use 3-5 cm.
4. Give fertilizer to corn plants
Some of the first parts we will give to fertilizing corn plants are basic fertilizers, usually basic fertilizers that are given a variety of organic fertilizers such as manure, compost and other types of organic fertilizers. Then your corn plant will absorb some of the elements needed for them to grow big, these elements such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium are much needed in the growth phase and later when during fertilization.
5. Maintain Corn until harvest
This stage is a bit proud and you might smile a little because your corn is flourishing. In the initial process the seeds have been provided with food for sprouts, and after growing and when these plants are approaching growing up they rely heavily on food available on the land. Not only that corn plants can also be attacked by plant pests and may be a little inconvenient for you when you plant them.
I admit that the maintenance process is not as easy as I am writing right now, but you have an idea for its maintenance. In its maintenance, there are several stages such as planting, thinning, turning, irrigation and sususlan fertilization.
thank you friends who visited my post, hopefully this post can benefit us all aamin.
