Gardening sweet corn in my village
How the technique of fertilizing sweet corn is right
Corn denagn the number of market demand will be mainly sweet corn increasingly rising prices, per kilogram of sweet corn at the level of farmers was quite satisfactory. this is in line with the development of the culinary industry in the country that requires a lot of sweet corn as its raw material.
Before the planting process begins, we need to pay attention to fertilization techniques first. Different places and different planting season, so different way of proper fertilization. For example, for those of you who grow sweet corn in the rice fields in the rainy season, the care that needs to be given to the plant is somewhat different from the sweet corn planted in the moor during the dry season.
how-fertilize sweet corn in the fields
In every one planting cycle, sweet corn plants need to be given fertilizer 3 times. Among these are basic fertilization during seed planting, first-stage follow-up fertilization when the plants are 15 days old, and second stage follow-up fertilization at the time of this plant is 30 days old. While the process of harvesting sweet corn itself is usually done when the age of the plant has reached 100-110 days.
Basic Fertilization for this plant
In basic fertilization, the proper dose of fertilizer for sweet corn plants consists of 500 kg petroganic, 150 kg phonska, and 75 kg of urea for each hectare. Giving fertilizer is done by ditugali right beside the seed in the line of plants with a distance of about 10-15 cm. The purpose of this fertilization is to provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of sweet corn.
First Stage Fertilization Fertilization to add good crops
The first fertilization process this first time can be done when the age of sweet corn has reached 15 HST (Day After Planting). The fertilizers used include 150 kg of phonska and 75 kg of urea each per hectare. By giving both of these fertilizers, it is expected that the growth of sweet corn plants will be more fertile and have a stronger resistance than pests and diseases.
Second stage followup fertilization for fertilization
For second stage follow-up fertilization, the work is done when the sweet corn plant has reached the age of 30 HST (Day After Planting). This process relies on several fertilizers that are useful to support the growth of plants such as urea as much as 150 kg per hectare. By providing this fertilizer, the plant hopes to obtain enough organic material to form sweet corn cubes.
In addition to providing proper fertilizer, sweet corn plants also need to be watered regularly to maintain water and humidity needs. Do not let the plants experience drought due to land conditions that are too barren. Weeding process can be done before the first and second stage of fertilization process is implemented. While the process of pembubunan should be done in the same time with second stage followup fertilization.
Take good care of both sweet corn plants that you cultivate in order not to be attacked by pests or diseases. The most common type of pests that interfere with sweet corn crops is the stem borer. This pest can be overcome using petrofur at 15 year old pod of plants with dose of approximately 10 kg / hectare. Sweet corn plants that are 100-110 days old can be harvested with results that reach the target.
