Growing Tips

2. Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the pollination and kernel development stages. Avoid waterlogging.
3. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer when planting, followed by a high-nitrogen fertilizer during the early growth phase, and a phosphorus-rich fertilizer as the ears begin to form.
4. Thinning: Thin plants to 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) apart to ensure optimal growth and air circulation.
5. Harvesting: Harvest the ears when the kernels are plump, firm, and filled out. The husk should be green and tightly wrapped, and the silk should be brown and dry.
