Corn should be harvested late in time to increase production.

With the gradual harvest of summer sowing corn, it is particularly important to ensure stable and high yield.

Correctly mastering the harvest time of corn is an important production link to increase grain weight, reduce loss, and improve yield and quality. timely late harvest of corn can increase more than 100 jin per mu.

In order to achieve late harvest and increase production of corn, it is necessary to bear in mind the "six ones":

Look at the growth characteristics of corn, the mature period of corn needs to go through three stages: milk ripening stage, wax ripening stage and mature stage. Because corn is different from other crops, the grain is planted on the ear and is not easy to fall off after maturity, so it can complete the role of post-ripening on the plant.

Must: set the best harvest time for corn. The mature period is the best harvest time for corn. Some farmers worry that rainy days will affect the autumn harvest and delay the planting of winter wheat; some farmers are more worried that their fruits will be "taken away" by others, so they often see farmers rush to harvest. Both early harvest and late harvest bring unnecessary losses. To verify whether the corn has entered the full ripening stage, we can see from the appearance characteristics: the middle and lower leaves of the plant have turned yellow, the basal leaves have dried up, the yellow leaves of the ear are yellow-white and loose, the grain milk line disappears, the black layer appears and hardens, and shows the inherent color of this variety.

Push: calculate the late harvest time of corn. In general, according to the normal growth of corn, it is appropriate to prolong the harvest period by about 10 days.

As soon as it is collected: it should be collected quickly and in time. Watch the weather forecast in advance, arrange all kinds of preparatory work for personnel, vehicles and other pre-harvest, and strive to complete the harvest at one time.

First peeling: do not stack after harvest, timely use artificial and timely corn peeling machine for peeling.

Take off the air: because the water content of late harvest corn is generally about 30% to 40%, listen to the weather forecast, dry in sunny weather, and timely threshing and drying, it is appropriate to dry the corn until the moisture content of corn is less than 14%.
