What is fruit corn?
When it comes to corn, everyone must know what ordinary corn is like, but when it comes to fruit corn, some people may feel strange. You can guess from the name that fruit corn is actually a kind of corn, but it tastes like fruit. This kind of corn is sweet to eat, and it can be eaten directly raw, which is as sweet and crisp as fruit. Let's talk about the difference between the two.
the difference between ordinary corn and fruit corn:
1. The difference between ordinary corn and fruit corn is not particularly big, both of which are green leaves with full fruits inside. Relatively speaking, fruit corn looks delicious when its particles are tender and bigger.
2. The most obvious difference is the taste. Everyone knows what ordinary corn eats. Fruit corn will taste better. It tastes sweet, crisp and tender, just like some fruits, and it can be eaten raw directly.
3. The most realistic difference is that fruit corn is more expensive than ordinary corn, because it tastes better than ordinary corn, and it can be eaten directly raw, and it is also delicious when cooked, just like fruit, which is sweet and crisp and rich in nutrition, so it is more expensive.
4. Fruit corn is rich in vitamins, carotene, minerals and other nutrients, and it is a very healthy, green and organic food. Ordinary corn has high sugar content and high protein content, which is not only delicious, but also comprehensive in nutrition.
which races are suitable for? How to plant it?
which races are fruit corn suitable for? In fact, as long as you want to plant, as long as you know how to plant, understand the planting management of fruit corn, and have suitable land and environmental conditions, you can plant it.
so how should we grow fruit corn? Let's take a look at it.
1. Seed selection and land selection
Generally, seeds with strong adaptability, disease resistance, high quality and high yield should be selected. Sunning for two days before sowing will help germination. Land must be selected with good soil quality, soft soil, sufficient nutrients, convenient drainage and irrigation.
2. Sowing and management
You can choose hole sowing for fruit corn. The density should be controlled to be about 5 cm between rows, and the distance between each hole should be about 25 cm. There should be about three seeds in each hole. Generally, fruit corn should be planted shallowly, and the soil should cover about 3 cm, so it is not easy to grow if it is too thick. After the equal length comes out, the density must be controlled by thinning seedlings.
3. Water and fertilizer management
Fruit corn needs water very much, especially in the middle stage of growth, and it needs less water in the early and late stages of growth. Control the management of water, and when the growth rate is relatively fast, be sure to water it in time. When planting, base fertilizer must be used, and when growing, topdressing should be done in time to supplement the nutrients needed for the growth of fruit and corn.
4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases
Weed in time. For pests and diseases, corresponding measures must be taken in time according to the problems. Suitable drugs can be used, and the diseased plants should be pulled out in time to prevent others from being affected.
Economic benefits of fruit corn
Fruit corn grows fast and matures faster, and then sowing and management can greatly improve the yield.
As I said above, fruit corn has high nutritional value, good taste, many ways to eat, and many kinds of processing methods, which people like very much. The basic selling method of fruit corn and ordinary corn is the same, but fruit corn can have more forms, and the price of fruit corn is much higher than ordinary corn.
Generally speaking, fruit and corn sell well and the price is high, so the economic benefit is relatively high.
