There is no need to break off the long forked roots of corn.
In this case, there is generally no need to break it off and it does not affect the yield. It is mainly due to the high soil fertility and variety characteristics. The small forks at the roots of corn must be broken off, otherwise they will rob the main stem of nutrients. Secondly, it will also affect the ventilation and light transmission between corn plants, which is not conducive to the growth of the plant and will cause harm to the development of the ear and grains in the later period. affect corn yield. In order to reduce nutrient consumption of corn plants and increase yields, corn tillers (tillers) should be broken off in time.
From the perspective of technical requirements, it is necessary to remove the branches, but it is difficult to remove the branches when planting in large areas. Corn tillers are normal and do not need to be broken off. Strengthen field management and prevent pests and diseases. If you have enough time, you can remove the corn forks.
Precautions for corn planting
1. When selecting seeds, you should choose suitable varieties based on local climate characteristics. Before sowing, you can dry the seeds first, and use chemicals to dress the seeds; Water should be watered within 2-3 days after sowing to increase the germination rate of the seeds.
2. The growth of corn requires sufficient light, so during the planting process, attention should be paid to selecting the appropriate planting location and density. Generally, they are planted in a vertical shape, which is both loose and compact.
3. The growth of corn requires sufficient nutrients, so attention should be paid to timely supplementation of nutrients during the planting process. If a shortage of seedlings is discovered, seedlings need to be replenished quickly.
