Do the side buds of corn need to be broken off?

The lateral buds of corn need to be broken off.

The lateral buds of corn will compete with the main stem of corn for nutrients, so they need to be broken off. Otherwise, the nutrient consumption of corn plants is too high, the yield of corn will be reduced when it bears fruit, and the corn seeds will not be full. Therefore, when observing corn, we should break off the side buds in time.

Under normal circumstances, corn will not grow side buds. If there is, it is generally caused by excessive ammonia application at seedling stage, and when planting corn, if the spacing between plants is large, corn is easy to grow side buds.

When planting corn, water and fertilizer management should be done well. Before sowing, soil should be fertilized to improve soil fertility. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied at jointing stage, booting stage, heading and flowering stage and filling stage of maize. Corn should be watered in dry weather and drained in rainy season.
