It didn't take long to plant corn. What should I do if I encounter continuous dry weather?

Corn is an indispensable food in our life, whether it is directly cooked, fried or processed into noodles. So, in any case, corn is popular with many people. What if it doesn't rain for a long time after planting corn and the weather is too dry?

No rain for a long time is not conducive to the germination of corn seeds. If the soil is dry, seed germination will be affected. If the water content of corn after sowing is average, and the water contained in the soil can not meet the needs of seed germination, it will hinder seed germination or even barely expand and sprout, often because of the weak topsoil capacity, resulting in the lack of seedlings in the field. Some places go out, and some places don't. If such seedlings are not well managed, it will also have an impact on yield.

One of the quickest and most convenient ways is to buy drought-resistant varieties. If all the seeds in a field have not germinated, you should consider replanting. Therefore, in addition to considering the growth period of varieties, growers here should also pay attention to the following two methods. After all, buying drought-resistant varieties still has great advantages.

Artificial rainfall means watering yourself. If it doesn't rain for a long time and you are worried about seedling emergence, you can only water it artificially. Of course, if there are irrigation conditions, such as land near the river bank, or good irrigation conditions, irrigation should be done as soon as possible. After all, whether corn can germinate is closely related to whether it is irrigated immediately after sowing and whether the seedlings can grow evenly. Without irrigation conditions, we can only wait for rain, which may be nonsense, but we have to say that there is nothing we can do.

Artificial pollination is mainly in the middle and late growth period, which is suitable for plots with less severe drought. If corn can't pollinate itself, it needs artificial pollination for production. The defect is obvious. This method is suitable for friends with less plots. If there are too many plots, the labor cost will be a bit high.

Remind farmers that they must pay attention to moisturizing before and after sowing. If it rains, sow quickly. For those who have been sown and the soil moisture has improved, foliar fertilizer should be sprayed in time to promote the normal growth of early-maturing corn.
