What should I do if the corn is gluttonous and late-maturing due to continuous rainy days?

Corn will also ripen abnormally? Yes, influenced by various factors. For example, choose late-maturing varieties in alpine regions. For example, for corn with damaged stubble, choose varieties with long growth period. For example, the weather is abnormal, leading to late ripening. Most commonly, in order to obtain high yield in normal years, middle and late maturing varieties with high yield potential are selected as much as possible, but continuous rain in autumn and sudden drop in temperature affect the maturity of corn. What should I do if this problem occurs?

1. Clear accumulated water in time to avoid root rot and reduce the ability to absorb nutrients and water, and promote the normal growth of plants. Especially in low-lying plots, it is necessary to open drainage ditches at the first time to drain the accumulated water, so as to minimize the moisture content.

2. Tillage in time after sunny days to avoid soil hardening and loss of soil moisture, increase soil temperature, promote root system to absorb water and mineral nutrients normally, and accelerate growth and development.

3. Clean the leaves of diseases and insect pests and yellow leaves in the middle and lower parts of plants in time, reduce the probability of diseases and insect pests, increase the intensity of ventilation and light transmission in the field, reduce the humidity in the field, and promote the growth and recovery of corn.

4. Alternating emasculation in time at tasseling stage can reduce nutrient loss, help reduce plant height and increase lodging resistance.

5. Protect the four functional leaves around the female ear to avoid infection by pests and diseases and mechanical damage. After entering the filling stage, cut off the upper stalk of corn in time and mature ahead of time.

6. Deep hoeing and root cutting can be carried out in the later stage, which can accelerate the accumulation of nutrients.

7. In the late stage of wax ripening, the leaves outside the ear of corn can be torn off, and the corncob can be exposed to the sun to accelerate the transfer of plant nutrients to the grain.

8. If you need to plant wheat, you can harvest the whole plant with corncob when you have to make room, then tie it upright, cover it with agricultural film at night and uncover it during the day, so that all the nutrients in the plant can be converted into corn seeds and the 1000-grain weight can be increased. After the straw is completely dried, the corncob is broken off and can be sold or stored without airing.

You can also directly postpone the harvest of corn plants until they are naturally air-dried, which can maximize the yield.

If all methods can't guarantee normal maturity, you can only harvest young corn to eat or sell fresh corn cob, or sell it after cooking, or sell roasted corn. You can also consider harvesting immature corncobs, storing them in cold storage, and then using them as raw materials for baking corn.
