Fruit corn earns ten thousand yuan per mu? Is it a rumor or a fact?

Fruit corn, also known as sweet corn, sweet taste, has been favored by many consumers. In recent years, more and more farmers grow fruit corn, and some people say that growing fruit corn can earn ten thousand yuan per mu. Is this a rumor or a fact?

Compared with ordinary corn, the benefit of planting fruit corn is much higher. But earning ten thousand yuan per mu is a bit of an exaggeration. Some farmers may be doing accounts. On the market, a fruit, corn and green stick can be sold for 3 to 5 yuan, calculated on the basis of planting 3000 to 4000 plants per mu. If you plant two crops a year in the southern region, the output value will exceed 10, 000 yuan. In fact, when the average farmer grows fruit corn, it is impossible to sell it for 3 to 5 yuan each. 3 to 5 yuan is the terminal price, that is, the price sold in the supermarket. Secondly, large-scale planting can not sell all fresh food, most of the fruits and corn can not be sold directly to the people after harvest, and the sales price is not as high as we think.

If you have the channel to supply your own fruit and corn directly to the end market and sell it out in a short time, you can make more money than the average grower. But it's a little difficult to do that. Although fruit corn can not earn ten thousand yuan per mu, the income is higher than that of ordinary corn. If you plant fruit corn well, you can increase your income.

But it is more difficult to grow fruit corn than ordinary corn. Compared with common corn, the emergence rate of fruit corn is lower. The reason why fruit corn is sweet is that the seed has high sugar content and low starch content, while the low starch content will lead to difficult seed germination and low emergence rate. In addition, many farmers still follow the planting method of ordinary corn when planting fruit corn, regardless of environmental factors such as temperature, moisture and soil conditions, which leads to a lower emergence rate of fruit corn with low seed emergence rate.

Compared with ordinary corn, some fruit corn is also less resistant and more vulnerable to diseases and insect pests, coupled with extensive management model, continuous cropping and other human factors, so that fruit corn is plagued by diseases and insect pests. resulting in the reduction of its yield and quality.

Finally, there is a problem of harvesting cost of fruit elm. Because the pulp content of fruit corn green stick is relatively large, if mechanical harvesting is used, it is easy to damage and reduce the quality. Most of them can only be harvested manually. And the harvest time is relatively short, if the harvest time is not right, the quality will decline. If planted on a large scale, the cost may be too high.

These problems cannot be solved by farmers at present. If you want to improve the emergence rate and resistance of fruit and corn, you need high-quality varieties; if you want to solve the problem of harvesting, you need more professional machinery. So fruit and corn farmers can only plant fine seeds.

Although the income of fruit corn is high, but the planting management should be more precise, and the input cost will be increased accordingly, so it should be planted according to the actual situation.
