Fruit corn is a kind of sweet corn suitable for eating raw. Compared with ordinary sweet corn, its main characteristics are thin skin, juicy juice, crisp and sweet, and can be directly eaten raw or cooked. There is no essential difference between fruit corn and sweet corn. Generally sweet corn can be eaten raw, but the taste is good or bad. If people have good taste, they are used as fruit corn. Therefore, there is no special fruit corn variety in cultivation. The cultivation technology of fruit corn is similar to that of sweet corn. Generally, the following points should be grasped:
Sowing in stages: In order to prevent bunches of flowers from lowering quality, fruit corn must be isolated from other types of corn. It can be isolated at planting intervals (300 meters or more) and flowering periods (more than 30 days), or it can be isolated by barriers such as hills, forests, and houses. Short picking period of fruit and corn is difficult to keep fresh. The staged sowing can achieve batch picking and listing. Generally, it can be planted from the end of March to the beginning of August. In the early spring, there are also thermal insulation facilities that can be appropriately advanced, but should be avoided from late May to mid-June. Between the sowing, this period sown maize pollination period is facing the drought and dry weather from July to August, easily lead to plant baldness, lack of grain or empty culm.
Pregermination sowing: It is better to choose the sandy soil with a high level of fertility and cultivation of fruit and corn to cultivate fruit and corn. The fruit corn seeds are creased, the endosperm is small, the germination rate is low, and the seedlings are weak. In order to win Miao Qi, Miao Quan, and Miao Zhuang, it is best to perform germination sowing, whether it is direct seeding or seedling transplanting.
Scientific fertilization: The leaves of the fruit and corn are flat and the plant type is loose. The planting density is preferably 3500-4000 strains per mu. Appropriate application of basic fertilizer on fertilization, early application of Miaofei, heavy ear fertilizer, NPK combined application, and promote the application of organic fertilizer. The total amount of fertilizers in the medium-fertilizer field is controlled by 15 kg of pure nitrogen, 6 kg of phosphorus (diphosphorus pentoxide), and 6 kg of potassium (potassium oxide).
Fine management: Fruit corn is weak at seedling stage and susceptible to pests in the later period. Therefore, field management must be done in time. After the emergence of seedlings should be checked in time to fill the gap, control weeds, seedlings and mid-term to eliminate the delivery of small and extra fruit, in the middle and late to control corn borer and other pests. The picking period of fruit corn is about 3 days earlier than that of common sweet corn, and about 20 days after receiving the flour, the best picking period can be grasped in time according to the color of the silk flower and the field tasting.
