How to grow fruit corn and how to manage it? Please introduce in detail that fruit corn is a kind of sweet corn suitable for eating raw. Compared with ordinary sweet corn, its main characteristics are thin skin, juicy, crisp and sweet, which can be eaten directly or cooked. There is no essential difference between fruit corn and sweet corn, general sweet corn can be eaten raw, but there are advantages and disadvantages in taste, and those with good taste are regarded as fruit corn, so there is no special fruit corn variety in cultivation. The cultivation technology of fruit corn is similar to that of sweet corn. Generally speaking, the following points should be paid attention to: sowing by stages: in order to prevent flowers and reduce the quality, fruit corn should be planted in isolation from other types of corn. Can be in the planting spacing (more than 300 meters), florescence (more than 30 days) on the isolation, can also use hills, forests, houses and other barriers to isolation. The picking period of fruit and corn is short and it is difficult to keep fresh. It can be picked and listed in batches by sowing by stages. Generally, the seeds can be sown from the end of March to the beginning of August, and those with heat preservation facilities in early spring can be sown in advance, but sowing between late May and mid-June should be avoided. The flowering and pollination period of corn sown in this period is in the summer drought weather from July to August, which is easy to cause bald tip, grain deficiency or empty stalk. Sprouting and sowing: it is appropriate to choose sandy loam fields with high soil fertility and sufficient fertilizer and water to cultivate fruit and corn, and fine soil preparation should be done before sowing. Fruit corn seed wrinkled, endosperm small, germination rate is low, seedling potential is weak, in order to strive for seedling, seedling whole, seedling strong, whether it is direct seeding or seedling transplanting, it is best to promote germination and sowing. Scientific fertilization: the leaves of fruit and corn are spreading, the plant type is loose, and the planting density is 35004000plants per mu. Fertilization should be suitable for the application of base fertilizer, early application of seedling fertilizer, heavy application of panicle fertilizer, combined application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and advocate the application of organic fertilizer. The total amount of chemical fertilizer for medium fertility fields is controlled at about 15 kg of pure nitrogen, 6 kg of phosphorus (phosphorus pentoxide) and 6 kg of potassium (potassium oxide). Fine management: the growth of fruit corn in seedling stage is weak, and it is vulnerable to insect pests in the later stage, so it is necessary to do a good job in field management in time. After emergence, the seedlings should be checked and filled in time, weeds should be controlled, tillers and superfluous spikelets should be removed in seedling stage and middle stage, and corn borer and other pests should be controlled in the middle and later stage. The picking time of fruit corn is about 3 days earlier than that of ordinary sweet corn, and about 20 days after pollination, the best picking time can be grasped in time according to silk color and field taste.
