Where to sow corn if you want to get a big harvest: recommendations from experienced gardeners
Since corn is distinguished by its unpretentiousness, with proper sowing, caring for the plant will not cause any trouble.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about the first significant steps that any gardener who decides to grow cereals must take - choosing a place and preparing the soil.
So, a sunny area is ideal for heat-loving corn.
Make sure that the selected location is characterized by a high groundwater table.
In addition, it is important that the soil has a loose structure - this will ensure free access of air to the roots, which, in turn, promotes accelerated photosynthesis.
Therefore, if the area is located in a lowland and has dense soil, it is better to avoid planting corn.
In order for the crop to realize its genetic potential, in other words, to harvest a large number of tasty ears, it is necessary to maintain high soil fertility. This can be done by adding fertilizers.
In this regard, it is worth choosing and preparing a plot for corn in the fall, clearing it of weeds and spreading compost and nitroammophoska granules, and then digging it up to the depth of a shovel blade.
