Getting rid of the corn girl takes time and effort to increase production, and the effect is really thankless.

Throughout everyone's point of view, it is found that many of them are in favor of breaking the corn fork, but since they agree that the corn girl should come up with specific data, it is obviously not convincing without data support! Before this, scientific development of agriculture has been discussed on the issue of corn girl, and it has been clearly pointed out that if corn girl is removed, it will not increase production, while keeping corn girl may even increase production.

And I refer to the relevant research also still support this conclusion. The following is a detailed interpretation of this issue to avoid further entanglement of such problems, but also in order to eliminate the misleading of individual people. Now let's go back to the track of science and re-examine this problem according to the data of scientific experiments.

The production of Maize Tillers

The so-called corn tiller is what we commonly call corn girl or corn fork, in fact, this is a normal phenomenon of Gramineae plants, such as wheat and rice have a strong tillering ability. In wild corn, tillering is very common, but with human breeding selection, the ability of tillering is getting weaker and weaker, and plants with strong tillers have been gradually eliminated.

Apart from genotypes, today's varieties are basically the only factors that can affect tillering, such as maize varieties, planting density, fertilization, diseases and insect pests and other factors. to a large extent, these factors are no longer under our control, after all, environmental changes are accidental.

(the higher the density, the less nutrients of the plant, the fewer tillers; excessive basal fertilizer and excess nutrition at seedling stage promote the production of tillers; when the growth of diseases and insect pests is hindered, it will also promote tillers. )

The relationship between tiller and yield

The general view is that the production of maize tillers will result in the lack of main nutrition supply due to the competition between tillers and the main corn, which hinders the growth and development of the main body and leads to the reduction of yield. It is even thought that if the tillers are not broken up, it will cause a 30% impact.

Is that true? The Scientific Development of Agriculture has looked up some of the latest scientific research experiments, but in fact this is not the case. for example, increasing tiller can increase photosynthesis, store more dry matter, and bring enthusiasm to the plant.

According to Li Haihong's research, it was found that although tillering had a certain impact on the growth and development of the main stem, tillering could accumulate more dry matter and promote the growth and development of roots.

In the corn ear position, the corn ear treated with tillering will be higher, while the untreated corn ear position is relatively low. However, through the analysis of yield, it was found that whether or not to treat tiller had no effect on yield.

Similar conclusions were also found in the study of Zhang Xiaowei and Abdul Rehman that no matter what kind of planting density to remove maize tillers did not realize the desire to increase yield. And it takes time and effort to get rid of the corn girl and can not achieve the effect of increasing production, so this kind of behavior is not necessary. Although this conclusion is somewhat different from everyone's understanding, it is not a single study. Scientific guidance should prevail in farming.

Here is science to promote agriculture, welcome to add attention, with you to grow knowledge.
