Methods and points for attention of squatting seedlings of Maize

During the corn growing period, corn is easy to lodge due to the influence of strong wind climate, and farmers will adopt squatting technology to make corn strong and prevent lodging during planting process. So what are the other benefits of corn lodging? Let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian.

1. Benefits of corn squatting

First, it can control the growth potential of plants, slow the growth of corn seedlings on the ground, promote their strong growth, shorten stem nodes, and improve the lodging resistance of seedlings. Instead, it promotes the development of roots. Squatting seedlings can make the underground roots of corn grow and develop, promote the development of roots, and can penetrate deeper into the soil. In this way, the lodging resistance of plants is naturally stronger. At the same time, the strong roots can also make money. Root vitality and absorption of fertilizer and water can inhibit nutrient growth and promote reproductive growth. In addition, it has been proved by experiments that corn can generally increase production by 7%-12% after squatting.

2. Squatting seedling technology

The best time for maize seedling squatting is to choose only jointing stage after maize emergence. The method of squatting seedling is to improve soil permeability, break soil hardening and improve soil physical structure through intertillage first. At the same time, the soil moisture is dispersed, the soil moisture is preserved, the root system is promoted to tie down, the seedlings are strong, and the soil is firm. For fertile soil and sufficient fertilizer and water plots, watering should be properly controlled to prevent excessive growth of seedlings. For corn planted on wheat ridges, if the soil is relatively dry, proper watering is needed to maintain the growth and development of seedlings.

3. Precautions

In corn squatting seedlings should pay attention to three points, that is, three do not squat, these three respectively when squatting wet do not squat dry, squat fat do not squat thin, squat black do not squat yellow. That is to say, soil moisture is good, fertility is sufficient, seedling death black green soil fertility should be squatting seedlings, otherwise it is not suitable for squatting seedlings, if forced squatting seedlings will also affect the later growth and development.

The above is the introduction of corn squatting methods and precautions, I hope to help you, want to know more about the relevant knowledge, please pay attention to us.
