Gardeners from all over the world are collapsed to grow corn in the open ground in a wide variety of climatic zones. Corn goes to the proximity of a cattle, flour and cereals are made of it, as well as popcorn. But what is the secret of its cultivation? To do this, carefully examine the planting process itself, because it consists half of the success.
Seeding seeds
The corn is generally an unpretentious plant, but it is extremely sensitive to the temperature and abundance of water in the soil. It can be asked and drown, if you act inactiously. In addition, planting corn is complicated by the fact that the plants have sensitive roots. To at least prepare it to land, corn seeds germinate.
- They love air so instead of peat tablets use gauze or fabric.
- Water should be a strictly defined temperature not exceeding 25 ° C. Alternative to this method of germination is the soaking of seeds in the greenhouse. In this case, they are pre-wrapped with a cellophane package.
There are several positive parties in the cultivation of seeds at once:
- The ability to separate weak or crissed from strong and active
- If the seed gave a sprout - it will give it almost 100% of cases and harvest
- Dust seeds give shoots about at one time
- Due to the simultaneous appearance of sprouts, the choice of leaving funds, as well as insecticides and other "drugs" will be the same
Landing sprouted seeds
- The predecessors of corn on a certain plot of land is best to choose pumpkins. With their growing, certain fertilizers are made to the land, which in it remain and will be favorably affected by the growth of corn.
- After the gardener chooses a place for future corn, the ground is loose and dripped with fertilizer. When it is absorbed, in the ground makes a deepening by 10 cm deep into the world, located apart by almost 50 cm. The best scheme for the arrangement of recesses is a square. Corn planted in immediate close to each other will be easier to pollinate.
- The next stage depends on whether seeds were grunce. If the seeds did not germinate, there are at least 5 pcs in their deepening. After 12 days, they will give shoots, at this time they carefully examine and eliminate weak. If germinated seeds were used, then one deepening accounted for 1 seed. The probability that it will scare and sprout will not go into growth, extremely small.
Planting Corn seedlings
- Such landing greatly reduces the maturation time of the cobs, so the crop will be ready in the middle of summer. The plant's grade varies depending on the composition of the Earth and climate in the region, therefore, in the middle lane, Russia is more often planting corn, derived by Transnistrian production. But it can be replaced by such western varieties as a legend, spirit and trophy, as well as other varieties.
- Seedlings use special cassettes. They are square, in one cell 45 cubic, see the square meter use about 600 cells. The main thing is that during use there was no contact between them and the Earth. Corn roots can get to the ground and to damage to further reset. To avoid using supports.
- The land is selected for each certain variety. The soil with a turder is connected in equal fertilizer. If the earth does not differ soft, then no more than 10% of river sand is added to it. The land of the looseness can be ashes from wooden lanes or peat.
- Seared germinated seeds start approximately in April. Depending on the temperature, the timing can be moved from the week to the end of the month. Seedling is located in the greenhouses from the film. Additional heating is not needed. But it sharply reacts to cold water, so before using water for watering, it is allowed to settle. To protect the plant from the microbes of the Fundazol is divorced in 10 liters. water. If there is a desire, then 5 g of mangartee is added.
- While seedling grows, special attention is paid to the state of the earth, temperature and humidity. The plant is watered from 3 to 5 times with the use of water-soluble feeding. Before it uses, it is necessary to carefully study the composition, because many fertilizers conflict with each other and can spoil the Earth.
- The amount of watering changes from the Earth. Properly selected fertilizer will give a serious impetus to the growth of corn sprouts and will save it from rot. That is why the gardeners care about making fertilizer to the site allotted under the corn, from autumn. To the spring landing, the Earth will just have time to soak them completely.
- It is possible to reduce the need for watering with the help of hydrogel or aqueshba, entered into the soil. After that, watering can be reduced by 3 or 4 times.
The term of landing seedlings
Corn planted after the end of frosts. At first, planted seedlings, and a month later, it is transplanted into the prepared land. The secret of safe transplantation is a strong soil moisturizing. It helps to extract the roots intact and leaves a lump of the substrate. It will help the corn to fit in a new place.
Caring for this plant The easiest - loosening of the Earth and the elementary weeding until the sprouts are fixed. For corn is extremely useful. It helps when holding moisture in the soil and stimulates the growth of the roots.
It is not so difficult to plant corn into the open ground, if you follow the unacceptable councils of experienced gardens.
