Corn should be grown with plenty of water and regular feeding to ensure optimal growth and yield.
Here's a breakdown of key factors:
-
Watering: Corn needs consistent moisture to thrive.
- Check soil moisture levels frequently.
- Consider using a soaker hose for efficient watering in smaller plots.
- Well-watered corn grows quickly.
-
Feeding: Corn is a heavy feeder and requires regular fertilization.
- Use a water-soluble plant food regularly to provide essential nutrients.
-
Mulching: Mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Apply a 3-inch layer of mulch around corn plants.
In summary, ensure consistent watering, regular feeding with plant food, and the application of mulch to promote healthy corn growth.
