When to plant corn?

Inexperienced gardeners, or novice gardeners, ask themselves when to plant which plant, at what time, at what temperature, in what soil, so that the harvest is good, so as not to freeze and not be late with sowing.

This also applies to plants such as corn. When to plant corn?

Corn is a fairly thermophilic plant, which usually sits on calendar dates somewhere from 1 mine to 15. But these are not exact dates, since planting it depends on the ambient temperature. The soil temperature during planting at a depth of 10 centimeters should be at least - 10-12 degrees. This is the main criterion for when to plant corn. If the seeds are cold, they will either freeze, or their growth will slow down very much, which will also not have a beneficial effect on the harvest. Therefore, it is better to wait for warm days and not experiment with planting, as soon as the snow melts.

Corn can be planted in cups first for seedlings. Before this, the seeds are usually soaked in water, or in water with the addition of a growth stimulant. After the seeds germinate, it becomes clear which seeds will definitely grow and which ones should not even be planted. Sprouted seeds are planted in the ground or in cups. If it is necessary to grow corn earlier, it can be planted in greenhouses or greenhouses. There, the air and soil temperature is much higher, and with short-term frosts, corn is not in danger.

Seeds are planted at a distance of 30-40 centimeters to one another, and 70 centimeters between rows.

It is also worth remembering that fodder and sweet corn should not be planted next to each other, since their taste will completely change not for the better and the crop will be spoiled.
